During most of 1992 Robert Fripp was dividing his live work between an ongoing project with David Sylvian and Trey Gunn and the Robert Fripp String Quintet. After the RFSQ completed their live dates in Japan in November, Fripp and Gunn began work on the pre-production and rehearsals for what would become The First Day album the following month. On these snippets of level checks and rehearsals at Applehead Studios in Woodstock, New York, we hear Trey and Robert working on a couple of ideas. The first offers a different emphasis on the high cyclical motif from the track Sunday All Over The World (later recycled in The Moving Force as performed by the LoCG) whilst the second investigates the bass end of the same piece. The third and final is a romantic little beauty for sure – small but perfectly formed.
This track is available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his second year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.
