D.G.G. Offices Munich Germany

The next date in the Frippertronics tour calender had the small mobile intelligent unit scheduled to appear at the German offices of the record company. Whereas reels from other appearances are usually carefully annotated, without anything to go on other than an unmarked box, tying this music to this particular date is admittedly little more than guesswork on the part of ace DGM engineer, Alex Mundy. Although the ascribed location of this music might be speculative, the moods and atmospheres created over the course of 50-plus minutes are not. Perhaps most impressive is the rather ominous creep of Unknown IV and the quirkily fractured dance steps of Unknown V across which swarms of minor note dart and swerve before fading to an eerie conclusion.

Live tracks can easily be backing tracks for studio projects
These were what was recorded direct to tape (not a room microphone) to create the Frippertronics in the first place. The same way they are made in the studio. No difference. There is no reason they could/would not have been used as backing or starter tracks.

Hypnotic
I've always really loved the track God Saved the King, but never thought to delve too much further into the Frippertronics period until now. I feel well rewarded. This is a remarkably hypnotic set. Am so happy to have discovered it.

'God Save The Queen / Under Heavy Manners' re-discovered
4 tracks out of 5 are the performances which became 'God Save The Queen / Under Heavy Manners' In detail: Unknown I is '1983' Unknown II is 'God Save The Queen' Unknown IV is 'Red two Scorer' Unknown V is the backing frippetronics to "The Zero of The Signified' It is possible they're running at a lower speed than the original ones (half a tone in musical terms, but the only comparison available to me is a vinyl rip-off on YouTube). It's good to have them in digital format, since the origi...

Agree with other reviewer
While this is a great set, I don’t think it is from this tour. All of the others are much fuller frippertronics, closer to Heavenly Music, while this is more like the loops created in the first half of later tours (like the 81 set). More like a bedding loop to solo over. Agree with their similarity identifications.
