Written by LouieB

Once again, DGMLive has struck gold with the unearthing of some excellent vintage Frippertronics loops from Mr. Robert Fripp - this time from the WMCF Studios in Rochester NY.

There are many similarities between this and the official Frippertronics album "Let The Power Fall." Both feature pure Frippertronics loops without Robert’s soloing on top. Each of the four loops in this download have different qualities and moods but together, they make a cohesive whole much like a four-movement symphony. My personal favorite moment is during Loop I when Fripp builds a wall of sound using inense low notes. It literally sounded like the walls were going to come apart.

All in all, this is definitely some historic stuff and is truly amazing. All of Robert Fripp’s Frippertronics and Soundscapes downloads (and CDs) have amazing moments to offer and this one is no exception. Thanks to Stormy, Fripp and DGMLive for once again bringing a hidden treasure to the forefront. Great stuff.

I must confess a certain attachment to the Revox & Les Paul era Frippertronics work that cannot be put into verbal terms. "Let The Power Fall" and "God Save The Queen" are amongst the Read more

You couldn’t ask for more from a Frippertronics backing tape.  It has everything you’d want...from the soothing relaxing hypnotic type to the intense riveting angry loops.  From what I can gather this is exactly as the tape box Read more

A Must Have!   Thu., Jun 3, 2010

I am one of the subset of Frippertronics fans that prefers the loops without the solos and respectfully submit that nothing is missing here.   Amazing you-are-there sound with the Flac download.   Read more

What a fantastic release! These late 70s Frippertronics recordings bridge to gap between the early/mid 70s "No Pussyfooting/Evening Star "era and the "Let the Power Fall" stylings of the early Read more

What a wonderful release !!. Reminds me of good times i 1979 : Glypotket, Copenhagen in May 1979. I never get tired of Fripps solo output in 1978 - 80. This is groundbreaking Read more

I love this live Frippertronics recording, thank you for making it available. I have a very pedantic observation to contribute - that it is most likely WCMF, not WMCF, if I have my Upstate progressive rock radio stations of the Read more
