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.

Discipline is one of my all time favorites, and I truly enjoyed getting a glimpse of its infancy. Thank you! Would I be rude if I asked, "More, please?" If not, "More, please?" ±Dan Read more

This was an amazing 2 and a half minutes.  Thank you for putting this out. It is just great to hear, and to think it was almost 30 years ago. Read more

Quite interesting to hear this embryonic version of Discipline! Jeff Berlin sounds comfortable in this setting with appropriately "rubbery" T-Lev type bass counterpoint; while BB’s drum kit work--pre slitdrum--moves within the rhythm in characteristic Bill Read more

Similar to the beefy style of Red (as opposed to the more nuanced layering of LTiA) I wish there was more.  Did these fellows ever record anything else? (together, I mean) Read more

I had the opportunity to meet Fripp in 1980. I learned what power falls in a brief moment... if only I had said "hello" or recognized silence as my friend... it was an immeasurable gift. Perhaps, it meant nothing to Read more

I simply cannot get enough of Frippertonic material. It is stunningly beautiful, moving, compelling and devastating music. Utterly original and unique. I never tire of it - despite it apparent repetitious structure, it always sounds different and new, and it Read more

the big question   Thu., Aug 6, 2009
Posted by: topografico
   Was this trio ever intended as a permanent band? BF was just back from his hiatus. Wetton was more or less looking for inspiration. PC was rather frustrated by personal life and Genesis Read more

Great tracks. Nice to hear Collins playing like it matters. A quibble: The last track has the Roman numeral VI (6) shouldn’t it be IV (4)? Read more
