Double trio orchestra
I love how this piece has room for all string players... Their parts don't clash at all! Play it loud.
30 October, 1994 Fashionable
This track is now available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his second year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.
Although Fashionable had been kicked around during the Vrooom sessions (it appears on KCCC 8) it was deemed not to have made the grade. Down but not yet out, the piece was resurrected once the team set up camp at Real World to record Thrak. This version has some interesting shifts of emphasis from undeveloped rendition laid down earlier in May at Woodstock - notably Tony Levin’s ascending line during the intro, some sculpted fills from Trey Gunn during the middle eight sections, and of course the high-register lattice work from Fripp. Despite such additions and refinements, ultimately the track was dropped onto the cutting room floor at Real World never to see the light of day until its rescue by Mister Stormy.
