Written by JLAdams

This music, while great, shows that RF would not have been a very effective fusion guy (assuming that "fusion guy" was a title to which he would have aspired).

To me personally, I now understand why 81-84 Crim rarely goes six weeks without getting some play in my home, while Bruford’s One Of A Kind gets the once a year treatment, and the answer is most emphatically NOT that the latter is anything less than fantastic music performed by musicians who mean it.

The key difference, IMO, is originality. 81-84 KC has it to the extent that the music does not lend itself to categorization. BB’s work with Jeff Berlin, on the other hand, is fusion.

I’ve loved this gig since I first heard it many years ago and this Stormy-enhanced version is just splendid. This is Fripp and Eno really delivering the goods; moody, scary, beautiful, spacey and simply downright Read more

An advantage of getting older!   Fri., Dec 3, 2010

For years the only Frippertronic releases were confined to just a few albums. Of course a few more were made available here over the last couple years- but I’m really excited about the last 2 recordings being made available Read more

from the steps...   Mon., Nov 29, 2010

We perched on the steps of the church and listened to Robert perform from there, I forget if we were too broke to get in or it was sold out. Not the best part of town back then, but being Read more

Of all the official DGM Frippertronics shows released so far (Nov. 24, 2010) this is my favorite. The loops are wonderfully engaging. The solos are sublime.  The sound quality is five-star Read more

Posted by: Squonkamatic
I’m a lifelong devotee of the Frippertronics process and had only read about his echo box/delay setup used for this period of Fripp solo. It’s definitely not Frippertronics nor the Soundscape approach but something else about halfway Read more
