Ironically enough, that's pretty much why he and King Crimson parted ways in the
first place; he was fighting to be heard over the other guys, who were getting
heavier and heavier and louder and louder, especially John Wetton's bass.
Robert Fripp details this in the booklet that accompanies the Great Deceiver
boxset and I think there's also info in The Nightwatch booklet, IIRC.
