1.No Pussyfooting by: Robert Fripp September 29, 2008

This album is groundbreaking on many levels. This is mainly down to the first "track", the heavenly music corporation, which is almost palimpsest-like, in that the reverse and slow speed incarnations are both here (there are explainations given as to why..chortle away at the history), and its the same piece of music...yet it sounds different enough to warrant inclusion. Being a composer/producer, I noticed a sizeable difference in the audio quality of this master compared to the previous incarnation of the album. Everything is crisper, and more punchier, WITHOUT losing the ambient remit which this album perhaps inadvertantly ended up setting (eno's truer ambient works started later). Swastika girls is more raucous and simmery/ ... Read More:

While 2004's The Equatorial Stars, by the most cerebral duo in rock was a long-awaited epistle after a lengthy hiatus for most fans, few of us knew that Fripp and Eno had been working on and off for more than a decade beforehand. Thus Beyond Even ( Cheekily sub-titled Works Of Startling Genius and available as a double CD with a mix side and errr a normal side ) comes as a very welcome surprise. Stylistically Beyond Even is difficult to classify. There are the to be expected ambient pieces - probably those that came from the same sessions as the Equatorial Stars material . But there are also startling sonic interludes , moments of queasy dissonance and totally unexpected traipses into new areas. It's especially unsettling on the mix CD, where ... Read More:

As released back in 1979 this album made nonsense of the idea that prog and new wave were incompatible. Not everyone was listening, unfortunately, but for those of us who got the point, it was immediately mind-opening. So it's a real treat to finally get to hear the whole thing. This album is startling, beautiful, seductive, abrasive, funny, deadly serious and more. Short fragments of songs burst into taped conversations (and vice versa), heavy guitar riffage-mania is juxtaposed with drones, gorgeous frippertronics and vocals which are at times crooned while at others sound spat or throttled. The newly released Daryl Hall material is thrilling, particularly his version of "Disengage" which - pitch black as it is - puts the song as ... Read More:

This, I assume, is a sister album to Eno and Fripp's 'Evening Star',and a continuation of their collaboration begun on 1975's 'No Pussyfooting'. In my opinion,we have two of music's most gifted and original people here,and an album with the two of them is always going to be interesting.This doesn't disappoint,lovely ambient textures with Fripp's amazing sounding guitar seemingly endlessly sustained over the top,modulating weirdly from time to time,but always hypnotic. Percussion and rhythm do creep into the music a little later in the album,but generally it is a mellow affair,perfect for chilling out with a loved one or what you will. If you like either of these guys, or ambient sounds in general, you ... Read More:

7.Thread by: Travis & Fripp July 14, 2008

This is a lovely, understated album. It is in the tradition of the Fripp / Eno Ambient music that we have been either loving or loathing for the past thirty odd years. There is a consistent sound throughout the album with Robert Fripp on guitar and Theo Travis on alto flute and soprano sax. These are two towering talents enjoying playing with a mutual respect. I first really became aware of Theo Travis on the Soft Machine Legacy album Steam where he filled the shoes of the sadly departed Elton Dean in grand style. His solo album, to which Robert Fripp contributed production and some guitar, is excellent.

I first heard one of the title tracks on Late Junction about 2 months ago (surely the best music programme on radio!)and immediately put it on my Christmas wishlist. Christmas Day - I was not disappointed!! It works as pure ambient whilst at the same time merits closing off the rest of the world and just sitting and listening. The music raises a couple of questions for me. Firstly, is this entirely the product of synthesised and looped guitar with no added keyboards?? If so - how does Mr Fripp's Solar Voyager work? Secondly - how do I get to hear of RF's live performances BEFORE they happen. Oh to see him live!! (Surely one of my 50 things to do before...the end of time.)

No, not B-Thong or Roger Eno, but the early 90s Fripp-Sylvian collaborations re-issued and re-engineered for another generation. And not before time. 'Damage' (rightfully the title track) is, without doubt, my favourite song of all time: a lingering, aching, remorseful piece of percussive-less balladry. Fripp's red-grey sky of an electronica backdrop hangs evocatively in the air, punctuated by Sylvian's tremulous vocals and some judiciously restrained bass courtesy of Trey Gunn. The sense of loss is overwhelming, but somehow there is hope in the void. The respectful pause-before-applause at the end says it all... less is truly more. All this and the only slightly less wondrous 'First Day' too. On the original boxed CD these gentle, translucent songs ... Read More:

If you're a Crimso nut since In the Court of the Crimson King, this CD is an essential for your library. Ian MacDonald and Mike Giles feature strongly as does the crystal voice of Judy Dyble (the original Fairports singer). There'a an altogether more folky/jazzy feel than most later KC work and you get a sense of where they might have gone if they'd kept Ian MacDonald. Would a female singer have worked on "The rusted chains of prison moons"? Perhaps not. As the booklet with the CD explains at incomprehensible length, the recording was a triumph of skill over very limited taping technology. What's best about it all? The tightness and technical skill of the players; the wide range of experimentation which gives you hints of everything ... Read More:
