Notes
Recorded against the backdrop of his deteriorating relationships with his management company, the spring tour of 1991 was only financed when Fripp was forced to sell of his rarest guitar to foot the bill.

Happily the music transcends such worldly concerns and is undoubtedly one of the strongest collections of CG material ever presented. Replete with the crystalline beauty of the circulations, arrangements of Bach Preludes (and arguably the definitive recording of Bert Lams’ stunning Asturias), the album also shudders from the astonishing power of the ensemble on pieces such as Driving Force (containing a motif Fripp utilised in Sunday All Over The World and later on The ConstrucKction of Light). The early life-signs of the beast that would be Thrak are also to be found within.

Containing all the members of the California Trio this is an exemplary and impressive collection of the League’s mesmerising qualities in full flow. Originally released on CD in July 1995, the album is now out of print.
