Time-Honoured Free Spirits

My thanks to Cynoth who sent in the following item of interest concerning Fripp & Eno.

Those who have a subscription to Germanies biggest news magazine,Der Spiegel, recieve once a month,  as a bonus, a small magazine called "Kultur Spiegel" that contains amongst other things  brief CD recommendation, rather than reviews. The new edition for January 2008 recommends "Beyond Even". I supply a translation of the text written by Christopher Dallach for your New Years entertainment.

"Two time-honoured British free spirits of pop are working together here. Brian Eno became legendary with Roxy Music and ambient-purring, Robert Fripp with the band King Crimson. Together they sound as beautiful and twisted as was to be expected in these crackling and whirring instrumental melodies to which one can gaze eternally into the grey winter skies."
