Robert Fripp
Unknown
9 Sep 1979

Sometimes you’ve just got to get that idea down on tape or risk it being lost. So here we have what sounds like Robert sitting down in the proximity of his trusty cassette recorder’s on-board mic and grabbing the ideas as they fly by. The two separate fragments bring to mind some of the progressions and shapes which would later be explored in more detail in the League of Crafty Guitarists. And isn’t there also the merest hint of that gradually unfolding line we hear in Easter Monday? Tiny snapshots but more than a few ideas in them.

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.
