FFWD-s/t.A 1994 collaboration by The Orb and Fripp.Somewhat hit or miss(for me) but the hits make this a worthwhile record to have,imo.

Bruford Levin Upper Extremeties
David Cross Exiles
Robert Fripp Let the Power Fall
Surprised no on has yet mentioned my favorite - Pete Sinfield Still and another vote for McDonald and Giles, my second favorite
Did that ever get a physical release?
He's on both, and Damage is the live one. Fripp, Gunn and Sylvian also toured briefly as a trio. Gunn was collaborative writer in the material and deserves as much credit for the music as Fripp or Sylvian.
The more I've listened to Sylvian/Fripp over the years, the more I realize that it's King Crimson except in name.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.

I found this one really problematic. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but completists. The main problem is Sinfield's vocal performance, or lack thereof. Also, irrespective of his accomplishments as a lyricist, at that point he was still a noob when it came to songwriting. There are some nice things there, but a lot of it plods and is rather predictable. YMMV.

(Re: Daryl Hall, Sacred Songs) Yes, produced and played on it. Hall wanted to work with Fripp, and Fripp had great respect for Hall's singing ability. Some songs work better than others, but there's lots of Frippertronics. Hall also sang 7 tracks on Exposure, but his management only allowed two of them on the original release. The remastered Exposure has them all, though.

I think the subtext is rapidly becoming text.
How do the additional Exposure tunes with Hall singing sound? It might be worth it to upgrade this just to get those extra five tracks!
Before you get too snippy, this is what the OP originally wrote...
So KC related is a much bigger pond than simply solo albums.
I pulled back from suggesting the Talking Heads' Fear of Music and Remain in Light, but both are pretty relevant to Discipline era KC. Both are great listens too, and the OP wouldn't be misguided in checking them out.

I don't remember much about the first one, I haven't listened to it in ages. The second was a decent instrumental record, but nothing that special. I do remember listening to it at work one day while eating lunch, and my manager walked by as What Kind Of Man Reads Playboy, and remarked that the 8th guitar riff synced up with me slicing a piece of meat in such a fashion, it seemed as if I was the one making the sound, not my boombox.
I heartily recommend Sunday All Over The World / Kneeling At The Shrine. It's quite excellent and features Fripp, Toyah and is the first time I heard Trey Gunn.
The League of Gentlemen with the pink cover was a breath of fresh air when it came out. There's a Gang of Four and an XTC connection with funky, upbeat feel. Made me seek out an import bootleg of them live in Hamburg. Don't know if it's dated well or not...
Hall is an excellent singer
Babs in Babs was the song we played in college radio times...
