This is very interesting musically on its own, and likewise interesting historically in the context of Fripp solo work/performances. The guitar sound is not like Frippertronics or pre 75 Crimson. Sometimes it is like it is in League of Gentlemen. But there is a basic electric sound that is not often heard, which is to say electric guitar amplified with minimal manipulation of its envelope. The aesthetic concept is very similar to Frippertronics, but this change in guitar tone significantly changes the affect. More whimsy, and somehow more quiet and somewhat peaceful - not so intense as say Let the Power Fall (which is hardly ever been surpassed for me, especially the live instantiations), but lovely all the same.

Posted by: Mouxie
Just gorgeous. I love Anne Laplantine’s work for similar reasons as I adore this, but of course her work leverages on digital cut-ups, whereas this just spills out, all in the moment, making it Read more

So This Is What It Sounded Like ... Mon., Nov 22, 2010
Posted by: Squonkamatic
I’m a lifelong devotee of the Frippertronics process and had only read about his echo box/delay setup used for this period of Fripp solo. It’s definitely not Frippertronics nor the Soundscape approach but something else about halfway Read more

A Lovely Piece Sun., Mar 28, 2010
Posted by: dshoemaker
This is a lovely and delicate piece. It reminds me a bit of the tone poems on Eno’s Another Green World. As a previous reviewer noted, this piece varies from the Frippertronics/Soundscapes approaches we may have heard more Read more

The Missing Link? Mon., Mar 22, 2010
Posted by: DeVito
Or one missing link, anyway. I’ve wondered how Frippertronics transformed into Soundscapes; this seems like an early step in the process. Kind of an odd set of sounds -- doesn’t have the focus and intensity of Frippertronics, nor Read more
