Future bandmate Ian MacDonald played the Tron. And Fripp doesn't sing, but
instead does some spoken word. I think Mike Giles did the singing. I have
the CD.

I was under the impression it was Fripp himself. Does it say it was
MacDonald in the CD booklet?

Yes it does. Although I think Fripp has expounded it more in more recent interviews and diaries.
