Notes
Earlier in the month the string quintet had played in Argentina before embarking on an North American tour that eventually took them to this date broadcast by the Los Angeles-based radio station KCRW.

There’s a superbly gritty version of Kan Non Power and a rare live outing for a Fripp & Gunn piece called Proto Punk whose origins date back to 1992, and part of which had by the time of this concert already been adapted into Brightness Falls by Fripp & Sylvian. You can also clearly hear ideas that would later surface in a soon-to-be reconvened King Crimson.

Buyer beware: there’s an intermittent electric mains-style hum present on this recording. DGM engineer, Alex Mundy comments “This is a board recording which also has open mics, which are picking up the audience, and a bit of hall, but also there is a hum. I’m not sure if it’s coming from RF’s rack or the lighting. Anyway, believe me, it was a lot worse before David Singleton and I took a lot of it out.”

There’s a drop in volume at the start of Eye Of The Needle though this corrects at about the half-way mark in that piece.
