Prog Magazine #132, 2022/08

King Crimson leader Robert Fripp graces the cover of the new issue of Prog Magazine. An eternal enigma, he is the leader of one of the greatest prog bands of all time, responsible for some of the best and most complex progressive music ever. Yet he spurns the prog tag, has had a fractious relationship with some of his band mates over the years and defies perception by appearing with wife Toyah in a series of light-hearted lockdown videos. So who is the real Robert Fripp? Prog was invited to lunch to find out. This issue also sees us talking to former Fripp colleague Adrian Belew about his colourful career to date, Fairport Convention tell us how the story of Full House and Al Stewart does the same with Past, Present & Future and Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin recall their live concerts with the late Paco De Lucia. There are interviews with Lonely Robot, Tim Bowness, Ed Wynne, Black Midi, Ryo Okumoto, Charlie Griffiths, Oceans Of Slumber, Birth, Lazuli, Elmer Gantry and loads more... This issue also comes with four unique King Crimson post cards and an 18-track sampler from US prog label Lasers Edge Records featuring music from Wolverine, Discipline, White Willlow, Tiles, Kingcrow and more...
