===1990s collaborations with David Sylvian and others===

Fripp's collaborations with [[David Sylvian]] feature some of his most exuberant guitar playing. Fripp contributed to Sylvian's twenty-minute track "Steel Cathedrals" from his ''[[Alchemy: An Index of Possibilities]]'' album of 1985. Then Fripp performed on several tracks from Sylvian's 1986 release, ''[[Gone to Earth (David Sylvian album)|Gone to Earth]]''.

In late 1991, Fripp had asked Sylvian to join a re-forming King Crimson as a vocalist.<ref name="SYLVIAN & FRIPP REISSUED"/> Sylvian declined the invitation, but proposed a possible collaboration between the two that would eventually become a tour of Japan and Italy in the spring of 1992.

Also in 1991, Fripp released an album with the project Sunday All Over The World, also featuring his wife Toyah Willcox, former League of Crafty Guitarists member [[Trey Gunn]] on Chapman Stick, and drummer Paul Beavis. The prior name of this band was Fripp Fripp, and they toured as such in 1988. They renamed to SAOTW, and toured again as SAOTW, in 1989.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://api.discogs.com/artists/670919|title=Sunday All Over The World|website=Discogs.com|language=en|access-date=8 February 2019}}</ref>

In July 1993, Sylvian and Fripp released the collaborative effort ''[[The First Day (David Sylvian and Robert Fripp album)|The First Day]]''. Other contributors were soon-to-be King Crimson member [[Trey Gunn]] on [[Chapman Stick]] and Jerry Marotta (who, like Sylvian, almost became a member of King Crimson) on drums. When the group toured to promote the CD, future King Crimson member [[Pat Mastelotto]] took over the drumming spot. The live document ''Damage'' was released in 1994, as was the joint venture, ''Redemption – Approaching Silence'', which featured Sylvian's ambient sound sculptures (Approaching Silence) accompanying Fripp reading his own text (Redemption).<ref name="SYLVIAN & FRIPP REISSUED">{{Cite news|url=https://www.dgmlive.com/news/sylvian-fripp-reissued|title=Sylvian & Fripp Reissued|date=13 June 2014|work=DGM Live|access-date=6 October 2017|language=en}}</ref>

During the early and mid-1990s Fripp contributed guitar/soundscapes to ''[[Lifeforms (The Future Sound of London album)|Lifeforms]]'' (1994) by [[the Future Sound of London]] and ''[[Cydonia (album)|Cydonia]]'' (released 2001) by [[the Orb]], as well as ''[[FFWD]]'', a collaborative effort with the latter's members. In addition, Fripp worked with Brian Eno co-writing and supplying guitar to two tracks for a CD-ROM project released in 1994 entitled ''[[Headcandy]]'' created by Chris Juul and Doug Jipson. Eno thought the visual aspects of the disc (video feedback effects) were very disappointing upon completion, and regretted participation. During this period, Fripp also contributed to albums by [[No-Man]] and [[The Beloved (band)|the Beloved]] (1994's ''[[Flowermouth]]'' and 1996's ''X'', respectively). He also contributed soundscapes and guitar to two albums by the UK band [[Iona (band)|Iona]]: 1993's ''[[Beyond These Shores]]'' and 1996's ''[[Journey into the Morn]]''.
