Panegyric

Panegyric is a renowned music label that originated as a UK distributor for various artists. Over time, it evolved into an independent brand, focusing primarily on musicians associated with the iconic band King Crimson.

With LC 00614 as its unique identifier, Panegyric has established itself as a trusted platform for fans of progressive rock and related genres. The label offers a diverse range of music from talented artists who have been influenced by or collaborated with members of King Crimson.

As a leading e-commerce website in the music industry, Panegyric provides an extensive collection of albums, merchandise, and exclusive releases. With its informative and authoritative tone, the label ensures that fans can easily discover and enjoy the extraordinary talent within their carefully curated catalog.

Robert Fripp is a British guitarist, keyboards player, writer and producer. He is best known as a founder and only continuous member of King Crimson, from their debut album "In The Court Of The Crimson King" in 1969, through to the most recent studio album "The Power to Believe" in 2003. With over 50 years as a professional musician and 60 years as a guitarist, Fripp has made significant contributions to the music industry.

Fripp is also recognized for his development of Frippertronics and Soundscapes, innovative methods that involve creating unique sounds with just one guitar using tape/digital delay, rack-mount synthesizer units, and other effects. He co-owns and operates the record label DGM (Discipline Global Mobile) which specializes in releasing King Crimson material and side projects from various KC members.

In addition to his musical endeavors, Fripp founded Guitar Craft seminars in the mid-1980s. These seminars later evolved into Guitar Circles across North America, South America, and Europe. He continues to direct Guitar Circles along with the Symphony of Crafty Guitarists. Recently, his first widely published book "The Guitar Circle" was released by Panegyric Publishing in association with DGM.

Let The Power Fall is the only full album of Frippertronics released during the original vinyl era and within two years of the original tour of shops/offices/restaurants et al that acted as venues for the concerts. With minimal promotion as the tour got underway, especially in North America, the shows quickly sold out. For many attending the effect of the music as it slowly unfolded was profound and deeply moving, and something which Fripp himself experienced.

Speaking to Melody Maker’s Lynden Barber in 1981, Fripp argued that Frippertronics gave him a way of working that put him in intimate contact with an audience, something that had been increasingly impossible in the conventional band set-up. “You can’t play Frippertronics and coast. It’s never that safe. It’s almost an excuse to put me in a situation where one has the audience, performer, and music, and in a certain kind of way something remarkable can happen. And that has happened to me, and it’s not possible in a group. Frippertronics is the most enjoyable means of playing I’ve ever found. Of all the tours I’ve done over 12 years, the only one I can look back on without being revolted or feeling grubby is the Frippertronics tour of 1979, the most crushingly hard work I’ve ever done.” Released in April 1981 just weeks after the sole album by The League of Gentlemen, Let The Power Fall was the final solo album by Robert.
