 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 starsGood, maybe even great, but not my thing   July 1, 2009
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.

Sweet is an understatement   Mon., Jun 22, 2009
Posted by: kevred
Good grief--just when I thought you couldn’t outdo the incredibly enticing Fripp/Wetton/Phil Collins segments posted a few months back, now you go and casually toss out something this historically meaningful. Would it be too much to say that this may be the very Read more

As a music fan all I can say is that going to a record shop/warehouse and hearing one of my favourite performers playing live could have been the most welcome surprise. Unfortunately it never happened: all Frippertronics gigs took place so far from Read more

This is another gem for us Exposure era completists.  This one seems to have a bit different flavor to it which makes it a great addition to the nice little collection of Exposure outakes that Read more

What a rhytm section   Mon., Mar 30, 2009
Posted by: orrason
This track shows how interesting drummer Phil Collins is (or was).  He could have made a good career as a drummer alone.  I would had loved to see this trio develop, but  I am not sure how Fripp would have Read more
