 Summer 81 July 14, 2009
Written by Sandro
This recording brought me back to my teenager years particularly during the summer of 81 I spent in NYC and coincided with Mr. Fripp’s week at Washington Squre Church. I was 18 at the time and went with my little sister (16 back then).
We really enjoyed the show and still today we remember that occasion.
I almost spoiled the show when in a naive way I stood up and went right where Mr. Fripp was and stood in front of him to give him an awful pencil drawing I did the night before.
I wouldn’t dare to do that this days but my young spirit of the time gave the nerves.
I was surprise to see Mr. Fripp dressed with a white undershirt and jeans (I was expecting a man in suit and tie, but the show was at almost 11;30 am and was very hot.
Thanks a lot again to the DGM team for this great recording.

This is some intense, powerful, unique stuff. It’s great to hear the building of the pieces from the first echoing tone to the finished piece with solo. And it’s refreshing to say ’unique’ and mean it, because of Fripp’s open-ended approach Read more

In my experience Frippertronics touch on something which Soundscapes never quite manage to touch upon. Maybe it has something to do with analogue vs. digital technology? This release is no Read more
