Fripp will forever be associated with his 1957 and ’59 Les Paul Customs, the three-pickup Black Beauties he rocked with early King Crimson, as well as The Talking Heads, Blondie, and his other seminal work.

S even years later, Fripp forms a new version of King Crimson and it's post-punk guitar rock! No more flutes, violins, tubas, mellotrons and avant-garde doodly-doo clomps -- this new band sounds like the Police or the Talking Heads or solo Peter Gabriel, but a bit more complex! King Crimson had been completely overhauled in the wake of Centipede, an orchestral jazz collective led by pianist Keith Tippett and produced by Fripp. Boz Burrell, Tippett, Mark Charig and Harry Miller had appeared on Centipede’s Septober Energy along with most of Soft Machine, and that energy carried over to King Crimson’s fourth album.

Three versions of "Cadence and Cascade" demonstrate a recording studio process of building songs from the bottom up. But it's the three-part, 12-minute "Devil's Triangle" that is Poseidon 's greatest triumph. Using a 5/4 rework of Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War" as its foundation, Fripp gradually deconstructs and reconstructs it over Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Albert Ayler, the Velvet Underground, Eric Dolphy, Dusty Springfield, and the other artists who changed music forever In the gripping fantasy novel, Court of the Crimson King, enter a world where darkness and deceit lurk beneath the surface, and the line between friend and foe is as thin as a whisper.
