Here’s the LoG in the rehearsal trying out a track that never made it onto an official release. It’s en especially savage retake of the main riff from Disengage (a toe-tapping crowd pleaser from Fripp’s Exposure album).
Only here it’s slowed down and extremely nasty. Oh, and if that’s not enough to flabber your gast, we get a version of the descending chord sequence from Neurotica thrown in for good measure. We know from the snippets released from Exposure rehearsals that Fripp, Wetton and Collins had tossed this about a couple of years prior to LoG.
However, here the riff is reborn and tooled up with attitude. It would take another year or so before it would finally find its true home. Pop the corks and raise a glass to this little beauty.
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.
