Future future sounds of london
Stripping away the guitars and vocals reveals KC sounding like Future Sound of London about a decade before FSL’s first album. Well worth a listen.
22 May 1981
This track was one of Stormy's Monday selections. It is currently unavailable, but will be part of his next bumper collection. His sixth year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, is now available for download.
Yet another glimpse into the inner workings of Frame By Frame from the Discipline recording sessions in May 1981. By stripping away the principal guitars, DGM engineer, Alex"Stormy" Mundy reveals a fascinating alternative world lurking below the surface of Frame By Frame. Driven along by Stick and drums, we quickly encounter Adrian Belew’s sunny tape looped vocals, the yearning harmony provided by Tony’s backing vocal and, lines and chords from the Roland keyboard played by Fripp. The subtle interaction of all these elements when meshed with the main guitar motifs is easily overlooked. Here, however thanks to Stormy's ministrations the piece presented in this manner could almost be a completely different song. For hard core fans of this line-up it's wonderful to be able to hear the construction process of one of this incarnation's most notable tracks.
