Fripp referred to the 1980 band as 'a second-division touring new wave instrumental dance band'.
The Trouser Press Record Guide described the League of Gentlemen's music as typically taking 'a simple medium-to-fast backbeat over which Fripp and Andrews locked horns, with melodic development emerging slowly, surely, subtly.' Trouser Press also suggests that the League's foray into dance oriented rock was a precursor to Fripp's reformed King Crimson in the early 1980s.
The band toured extensively in Europe and North America throughout 1980.
There are 77 specific tour dates detailed in the sleevenotes on the album The League of Gentlemen. Missing from this list are four (possibly warm-up) gigs at the 14th Century Hunting Lodge (now Lodge Farm House), outside the grounds of Kingston Lacy near Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England. These gigs are dated 24 to 27 February and pre-dated the first 'official' gig on 10 April at Moles, Bath.
The early 80s were a musical dance phenomena as well as a signpost for radical changes in the echelons of music taste and fashion. The times dictated 'in with 4/4 rhythms, out with the extended pieces of music' (based on elaborate time changes and structure). This project was the immediate precursor to the 1981 reformation of the Crimson King, and shows our man Fripp shredding leads left and right across a very disco-ish dance floor. At least a little head bobbing is in order! Throughout the live show, the Englishman is on a solo vengeance tear, going backwards, upwards, sideways, down. The heat of the small clubs can almost be felt by the end of the each song: people were really moving out there! What is also great about this release is that it really is a good sounding bootleg (from five separate shows) with no sound doctoring from remix engineer David Singleton. It's listed in the liner notes: a raw live band recording, warts and all. What you hear is what you got: the band as it really sounded from two mikes at the back of the club going directly into a cassette recorder.
Band personnel included the hot talents of Barry Andrews (XTC's first keyboardist who went on to more successful work with Shriekback) and Sarah Lee (ex of Gang of Four later with the B-52's). The oddest track stylistically speaking is 'Farewell Johnny Brill,' which uses a familiar R&B groove as a soloing vehicle. Superb liner notes with details about life on the road with complete tour dates, excerpts from the guitar meister's journal (always fun to read). The last fifty seconds summarizes the set perfectly; it's taken from recorded comments by Fripp at these shows: 'I have something to say to you from the heart, I... I really want to have a party. And I say this to everyone else in the band as well, team... I really have to party.' Thrang Thrang Gozinbulx is a fun disc to annoy your friends, and what more could you ask for really?
'Lovingly and laboriously pieced together by co-producer David Singleton from a number of performances, this is marketed as an 'official bootleg'. What this term acknowledges is that the recordings were made on rudimentary cassette equipment with plenty of interference from crowd noise and other venue-related gremlins. However, Singleton has assembled, with judicious cutting and pasting, a strong CD which justifies his (and Fripp's) evident belief that this was worth the work spent on it.
'The League of Gentlemen's lone studio album was an awkward affair. Fripp puts this down to Johnny Toobad's departure and the fact that a recently inducted drummer played on most of the tracks. I think the real reason is that when captured clinically and pristinely, the sound of the League of Gentlemen comes across as... well... clinical. An intellectual exercise in setting Frippertronic patterns to a basic dance beat, as if merely to demonstrate the versatility of Fripp's invention. The silly titles -- 'Heptaparaparshinokh', etc -- and the snippets of quirky dialogue added to the impression of this being some sort of arch joke.
'Heard live, in the palpably sweaty confines of this official bootleg's North American venues, the music stands revealed as tight, aggressive dancefloor entertainment that almost sneakily manages to sound like no other dance music ever brought before the public. It does what it does with confidence and flair, and is genuinely groovy.
'It is unfortunate that the full version of the original League of Gentelmen LP is not available. While seeming to be uncertain if they were making an 'Exposure' style art piece or a rock album, the band still managed to create an interesting work. But this 'official bootleg' of the 1980 tour shows what the Leaugue really were: a new wave instrumental dance band. There are no vocals on this disc (with the exception of the audience), and much of the material was not drawn from the studio album.
'The music is about as far from King Crimson as Mr. Fripp has ever gone: every track has a simple dance beat, and the band members stick very close to the song riffs throughout. The trio of Andrews, Lee, and Toobad provide a strong, solid backing. Like the Crafties, they put down a 'song' which Fripp plays over. Fripp's fret work is VERY fast, but not especially complicated: he often plays note patterns that move up and down the neck exploring various keys. Only occasionally does he break into a real 'solo'.
'We cannot call this music timeless: it is very 1980. (The riff to the title track, of which, by the way, there are three versions, sounds much like PIL's Keith Levine.) But that it captures a certain time and place is, along with some great playing, the recording's strength. It is also a good example of Mr. Fripp's highly respected 'rock' playing during this purely non-Crimson period ('Scary Monsters' is another). New wave musicians and fans were very interested in Fripp, despite his connection to what was then thought of as 'Dinosaur Rock'. This disc shows us why that was so.'

Tracks
This is a compilation of the Under Heavy Manners side from the 1980 album 'God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners' (the LP with frippertronics on side A and discotronics on side one) and The League of Gentlemen album. 'God Save the King' is a remix of 'The Zero of the Signified' with a new overdubbed guitar solo - it has nothing to do with 'God Save the Queen' which was a genuine frippertronic piece.

'I am still wondering that and why there is no entry to the original 'Leagueof Gentlemen' album from 1981 and only one entry to the League of Gentlemenlive album from that group on tour in 1980 (released as 'Thrang ThrangGozinbulx' in 1996). This seems strange to me since the League ofGentlemen were for the 80s King Crimson what 'Lizard', 'Island' and even'Earthbound' were for the 72-74 and 'Thrak', 'ThrakAttack' and theProjecKts are for the current King Crimson. In other words, without theLeague of Gentlemen (and its predecessor 'Under Heavy Manners/God Save theKing') the 80s King Crimson would not have been possible.
'This album puts together the 'disco' side of 'Under Heavy Manners/God SaveThe Queen'---and most of the tracks of the League of Gentlemen album---fora good reason. Fripp realized that the 'God Save The Queen' side (purefrippertronics) was the same as the later relased 'Let The Power Fall'album (1981) whereas the original 'League of Gentlemen' album attempted torecapture the spirit of the Exposure album with some spoken words andinstrumental intros which had nothing to do with the original live band(and the League were mostly a live band). Not that the result was bad butit undermined Fripp's intention at the time.
'When 'Exposure' came around in 1979 I was expecting, as many others, some'Red' related work. Instead of that I got a punk influenced album whichtook the punk spirit much further, brought in some of Fripp's spiritualconversion and still was able to give something we all loved in the 72-74King Crimson, this heavy, dark, at times fast and always precise guitarwork. And after all, 'Breathless' gave us a 1979 version of 'Red' (as'Vroom' did it for 1994). However, what most people loved in 'Exposure'was its closeness to the last KC version up to that date. Fripp, however,tried to get away from that as far as possible. The 'Zero of theSignified' of and 'Under Heavy Manners' tried to pick up the, at that time('79), current disco music as the album 'Thrak' picks up onGrunge/Alternative and ProjecKts III and IV pick up on jungle/drum andbass. Those two tracks take out any familiar 'rock' element (as doesProjecKt II's 'Space Groove' which, rightly so, you often find under'Trance' rather than 'Rock' in record shops nowadays). As a matter offact, for that time there is no such thing as a typical Fripp guitar on'Under Heavy Manners'. The 'Zero,' for the first time, showcases theguitar style that would become the now so famous 'gamelan' style in the 80sKC. The 'League' went even one step further and tracks such as 'InductiveResonance,' 'Cognitive Resonance' or 'Dislocated' are still one of themost astonishing guitar works Fripp has ever done, even though the rythmgroup acts out in a very simplistic but nevertheless effective manner---dueto the then current punk/new wave rules. While the League in their livework still featured some more 'regular rock pieces' in their set , thestudio album drastically reduces the tracks to a set which showcasessomething that, at the time, was not typical rock music at all. 'Frame byFrame', 'Discipline,' etc., they all pick up where the League left.
'This reissue came after the end of the 'Discipline' band and releases allversions basically unchanged but slightly remixed (particularly'Dislocated' which features an almost undistorted guitar, closer to thelive version rather than the original album version which features a verydistorted guitar) and an overdub of a solo guitar over 'Zero' which turnsit into a completley different piece which is probably the reason why Fripprenamed it into 'God Save the King' which is now the power alter ego to'God Save the Queen', the Frippertronics piece of the the b-side of the'Under Heavy Manners' album. After the excursions with KC 81-84 Frippprobably realized that this track could be much more interesting with apowerful lead guitar which drives the picking guitar even more.
'If you are interested in the overall development of KC from its beginningsto now you have to know this album. If you don't not care for such things,it's still a very good album.'

'God save the king is one of the more beautiful Robert Fripp's works. I feltthe harmony of the rock melting pure art. In one words, it is an 'oeuvred'art'. Cognitive Dissonance and Trap are really representative of that. Imeant harmony cause is created within the rythmical and harmonicalcomposition a sens of the research in the avant guarde fripp's talent. Farfrom the 'abstract' truth of sound, or the non-mechanical musics, theprecision and the beauty (as a cathedral, i should say...) of life. Thiswork stand before the art of painting in my heart according to the researchof the pure composition.'

'I've loved listening to the original League of Gentlemen LP since I was a kid and still revisit it often. My copy is old, but the pops, by now, are part of the music in an organic way. I was dumbfounded when the CD was issued stripped of vocal tapes and many tracks and paired with God Save the Queen which I also adore in it's original vintage. I'm still confused about that and would happily buy reissue CD's of both albums.
'Main thing I'd like to point out is something that startled me yesterday. TRAP was playing and I suddenly realized that the music of this track was partly absorbed into THE SHELTERING SKY on KC's Discipline. I'm thick-headed sometimes and take so much of my favorite music for granted that it all flows into eachother and then 'voila!' I make the connections some 20 years after fact. This is one of the ongoing pleasures I get from being a long-time appreciator of all of Fripp's work.'
