  Searing, scorching, soaring and totally cliche free November 30, 2008
Written by beebfader1
Well this one sure took me by surprise. Quite unlike anything the LoG ended up sounding like. This is raw, brutal and beautiful. The guitar sound is Fripp in excelsis. He navigates us through 13 thrilling minutes of totally cliche free, on the edge guitar playing. The groove is more akin to something like Can, with Mr Toobad and Ms Lee keeping everything chugging away beautifully. Wow that guitar must have shaken the walls of that hunting lodge. The ropey sound quality only adds to the intensity. I’m not kidding when I say this is already one of my favourite all time Fripp performances, it’s totally outside the box. I only discovered it yesterday, but have listened to little else today !

Somehow it worked! Thu., Sep 20, 2012

All tied together with great vocals & lyrics, Happy Family is a real good song. Something cool emerged from the Centipede experiment. Tippett was just plain awesome in K.Cs. abstract ventures. The haphazard Jazz guitar seems to be just on the verge Read more

I have always loved Lizard. I like it the best of the "early" era albums and only ever surpassed by Larks and Red. Shame the Lizard band never played live. It would have been really something to have heard the Read more

Hearing familiar playing in a different context has just put a huge smile on my face. Unfettered fun! The sonic mint on my pillow for the evening.

Incredible. More, please. (Yes, I suppose I’m one of those odd souls who think Lizard is Crimson’s finest achievement.)

November 8, 2003 Chicago, Park West. A trip on the ’night’ fantastic. One to remember, and remember it well. RF, guitar in hand, takes to his stool, readying the maze of processors cables and foot Read more

Thanks, very interesting and informative. Yes, musically these pieces posses the same stagnant and cold atmosphere later found on November Suite album. Nice to hear clear choral sounds again, almost completely abandoned by Fripp with some exceptions over last few Read more

Using a palette similar to November Suite, RF creates a set of 4 Soundscapes. Each one is different, and each one is worth hearing. In most cases, one can even hear the unamplified "pluck" of the guitar string before the Read more
