  Scary Good! March 24, 2008
Written by syncopatico
The beautifully bizarre nature of this piece takes on new significance with the contributions of only the four-man core Lizard band present on this fledgling Cirkus! Gordo’s maniacal mumblings provide some of this lovely dislocation, but Mr. Haskell’s (under-rated) superb full-toned bass playing benefits from this barer context. The drum takes for this record remain a force of nature as always! Mel’s appropriately spine-tingling soprano solo before the pause before the last verses also takes on new menace heard in this ’stripped down’ setting. And this even-more-elongated pause becomes effectively even creepier by emphasizing what is missing! And what of the composer? He gets to be heard here as one-man orchestra, displaying a younger and wilder exuberance of full-on mellotron before his modesty or producer’s ’mindset’ called upon further orchestral additions. What a joyful dread is heard! Perhaps this is a glimpse or maybe an extreme taste of what the core Lizard quartet might have sounded like live? (Bring on the early "Indoor Games" or maybe "Prince Rupert..." before or in-the-early-rehearsal stages with Jon Anderson!)

What an excellent set from the Beat Generation Crimson. As always, providence dictates that the best of the gigs is incomplete. What remains has indeed been wonderfully restored and presented and we have some tremendous performances of Sheltering Sky, Thela, Read more

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

It’s a real tragedy that this performance is incomplete (hence the missing star), ’cause it’s a blinder ! Alex Mundy has done sterling job mixing this and the sound is pristine and Read more

Robert Fripp’s performance was indeed a little winded by the Roland Guitar Synth this night. There are two tunable distortion synths plus a master tuner which are all rotary operated knobs and therefore very easy to disturb on a dark Read more
