Mister Stormy has unearthed a couple of interesting sketches from the writing rehearsals of Belew and Fripp. They're in a rather reflective and almost mellow mood on these two pieces. The first with Robert providing bass lines and a chord sequence from Ade that seems to echo elements of Walking On Air. The second piece has RF laying chords that are reminiscent in tone of the Fripp & Sylvian track, Damage. Here Ade lays down some tasty, if slightly hesitant melodies. Writing in his diary at the time Fripp noted "It's surprising how exhausting writing rehearsals are, although 32 years of experience suggests this should be utterly unsurprising. Buts it's always the same: the blank canvas in front, waiting for the subject to fall upon it - naked or draped, figurative or abstract, reflective or driving, & other better metaphors which escape my addled wits."
This track is one of Stormy's Monday selections. It is available as part of his next bumper collection. His fourth year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head is now available for download.
