Unlike his occasional collaborator Brian Eno, Robert Fripp is not often thought of as a groundbreaking producer. However, for a three-album run, he worked on some artists' landmark albums, bringing his musical nous as well as his trademark Frippertronics to the studio.
1978 saw the release of Peter Gabriel's eponymous third album, a/k/a Scratch, followed, in 1979, by the eponymous debut album from The Roches, and, in 1980, Sacred Songs, the solo debut from Daryl Hall, all of them (save Hall's, which RCA sat on for three years) produced by Fripp at the same time that he was recording and self-producing his own solo debut, Exposure.

After King Crimson disbanded in 1974, Robert Fripp took a break from the public eye. However, his move to New York in 1978 marked his return
These'll provide a taste of these albums, but I'd suggest you find them in better quality than YT will provide in order to get a sense of the sound that Fripp and the artists were able to create for each. Especially The Roches, which captures the sound of the room and the performances in a really distinctive and pleasing way.
