Re: [newmellotrongroup] King Crimson's Exiles-piano or Tron?

2008-07-24 by gino wong

I remember seeing Fripp play what looked to be an Italian electronic
piano or some other small keyboard sometimes run through a fuzzbox.
That was during the Larks's Tongue tour. On the recordings I have
heard what sounds very much like a Rhodes through distortion box ( a
classic and rarely discussed technique, killer on power chords).
