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.
My thanks to assubanipal for sending me this link to a hilarious blog piece about the world of Fripp & 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.
How Fripp made Heroes
Alex Mundy's rummage through the audience recording archive finds King Crimson's appearance at Amherst's Fine Arts Centre University Of Mass on March 1st, 1982. From Sid Smith's notes: Eight days into King Crimson’s North American tour things are going well with the band sounding extremely confident. This tour represents a consolidation of the toe-hold in America that the group established in the fall of the previous year. At times the quartet sounds like they are playing on ‘home turf’ and benefiting from the extra boost that bands receive in such circumstances. Click here for more information and download.
