You couldn’t ask for more from a Frippertronics backing tape.  It has everything you’d want...from the soothing relaxing hypnotic type to the intense riveting angry loops.  From what I can gather this is exactly as the tape box read...the loops created at both of these shows July 5th and 6th, which normally were about half an hour for each show and then Robert would rewind the tape and solo over top creating a performance that lasted roughly an hour with usually some discussion with the audience surrounding the music.  A source who attended the WCMF studio show remembers that Robert had a very bad cold and was apparently in a lousy mood as a result.  Strangely when faced with additional challenges such as these, it sometimes results in exceptional music.  This is definitely an example. Killer stuff !

I must confess a certain attachment to the Revox & Les Paul era Frippertronics work that cannot be put into verbal terms. "Let The Power Fall" and "God Save The Queen" are amongst the Read more

This collection of Frippertronics is a most welcome release in more than 30 plus years for those old enough to remember the initial flash of energy from the initial release from the small mobile intelligent Read more

A Must Have!   Thu., Jun 3, 2010

I am one of the subset of Frippertronics fans that prefers the loops without the solos and respectfully submit that nothing is missing here.   Amazing you-are-there sound with the Flac download.   Read more

Great sounds from the half-way point of classic Frippertronics...   Thu., Jun 3, 2010

What a fantastic release! These late 70s Frippertronics recordings bridge to gap between the early/mid 70s "No Pussyfooting/Evening Star "era and the "Let the Power Fall" stylings of the early Read more

What a wonderful release !!. Reminds me of good times i 1979 : Glypotket, Copenhagen in May 1979. I never get tired of Fripps solo output in 1978 - 80. This is groundbreaking Read more

I love this live Frippertronics recording, thank you for making it available. I have a very pedantic observation to contribute - that it is most likely WCMF, not WMCF, if I have my Upstate progressive rock radio stations of the Read more
