3 Things to Know About Robert Fripp’s Guitar on Another Green World

Fripp ran his electric guitar through Brian Eno’s tape-delay system. This created sustained, layered textures that sound unlike standard guitar playing.

The effect is most notable on the track “St. Elmo’s Fire.” The guitar becomes a drifting, atmospheric element rather than a lead instrument.

This collaboration was a key moment in ambient music. Fripp’s processed guitar work helped define the album’s experimental, textural sound.
