 Tight little dance band! March 3, 2010
Written by freshlet
I have heard poor quality bootlegs of LoG before, but this is like a ride in a Cadillac limousine! What I hear is a rhythm section that is hard and tight as a nail. The bass playing of Sara and Johnny on the drums is so in- the- pocket that Robert has a beautiful blank palette on which to paint his prolific and pioneering guitar work. I hear the templates of "Frame By Frame", the wicked super-fast rhythm strumming of "The Sailors Tale" soloing, and some absolutely ripping lead playing that brings to mind "Neurotica", "Breathless" and "Lark’s Tongues in Aspic Pt I"! The other wonderful bit of all this playing is the odd off-kilter rhythm/lead that Barry adds with the keyboards. The horny feel of this band is driven by the relentless rhythmic drive of Sara & Johnny, but with Robert’s astounding guitar work and Barry’s other-worldly keyboard brilliance, LoG take you to some wild places!!! Pick this sucker up if you want to hear a band that was probably two decades before it’s time. Thanks so much Robert, David S., Alex, Sid and DGM!!! You guys are the best.

A killer riff ! Hard to believe they never took this further and played it on stage. Easily as strong as the rest of the repetoire, if not moreso. Great find !

Enjoyable, to be sure. But the prominence of the paint-by-numbers bass in the recording is regrettable. I still think what I thought in 1980--no man could ever be in a band with Robert Fripp if he had no more proficiency Read more

This to me seems to have happened by accident. I subscribe to the podcast and when I first heard this I was absolutely floored. League of Gentleman (LOG - for Brevity) originally conjured by Fripp to create somewhat of a Read more

This is my favorite Fripp incarnation and I have played the two 80s releases over and over. And not that I don’t still adore them but it’s really cool to hear something so entirely new and different and Read more

Simply amazing Tue., Aug 19, 2008

It seems as though the band just sort of came up with this riff, bounced it around for a few bars and then ZOOM, flying away with an incredible tune. It even had this "grace and rhythm of a stone" person Read more
