Fripp & Eno
My thanks to Will Cruttenden for sending in this review of F&E from issue 296 of The Wire. When No Pussyfooting was released in 1973 it wasn't the first record to bring ambient/minimalist music to rock audiences - coming a couple of years after Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream started experimenting with soundscapes - but itcauseda stir among the english speaking music world, not least because it marked a radical departure for two of art rock's biggest stars: Robert Fripp and Brian Eno.
The Sunday Times has chosen Fripp & Eno's seminal No Pussyfooting as their must-have reissue of the week. You can read the review tucked away online here.
As you can see from his latest updated diary, Robert is busy remastering a couple of Fripp and Eno classics, No Pussyfooting and Evening Star. In the diary Robert says “Now, onto backwards versions, as originally featured on John Peel.
There's a splendidly dopey review of Fripp & Eno Live In Paris over at Audiophile Audition.
How Fripp made Heroes

Larks' Tongues In Aspic 50th anniversary will be celebrated with two comprehensive sets, a 2 CD / 2 Blu-ray set and a 2 LP on 200 gram vinyl one, set for release on October 13th, 2023.
Toyah & Robert's Upbeat Moments this week features rehearsals at home followed by recording in Auk Studios for the Supermind 3 series! More today at 19:00 CET. And tomorrow at 13:00 CET, Sunday Lunch revisited: Larks' Tongues In Aspic: Part Four
An evening with Robert Fripp & David Singleton, Englishmen Abroad, is an opportunity to ask the questions that get us out of bed in the morning... Where does Music come from? What does it take to survive the music business? When does the impossible become possible? Can Music change the world? Why did Fripp put on a tutu and dance to Swan Lake at the end of his garden? Englishmen Abroad is touring California before Spring 2024. May the embers of Burning Questions now be gently fanned!
