Isolated tracks are always interesting to hear. Divorced from the rest of the music in which the playing sits, listening to them is akin to a series eavesdropping on a series of intimate moments between the player and the rest of the music. In this stripped back rendition of One More Red Nightmare we hear Fripp providing the melodic spine of the piece with the main guitar arpeggio that had been appearing on and off in King Crimson improvs since 1972, but which become finalised here.

In addition, we encounter Fripp as broad-sweep colourist adding light and shade; Fripp as a miniaturist introducing devices and motifs to heighten tension, as well as scratchy sparks of notes, some of which were destined never to be heard in the final mix of the finished track, but which show us some of alternative thinking and possibilities that were put into play during the recording session.

On repeated listening
By the time I listened to this for the fourth time, I am increasingly impressed by the layers of guitar that form one of the densest tunes on the album.  For a person who was within weeks of disbanding the 72-74 incarnation, Fripp was still thinking in almost painterly terms.  His layering of different voices of his guitar is awe inspiring.  This song could have been just as successful as a live power trio take with the reed and horn overdubs.  Instead Fripp was placing tones...
