Tron again please
Hi. I am not going to compare this with the album track. This version, as is, is great enough to be considered a big present.Thank you DGM, please Tron us again (the real detuned ones, i prefer) :)
September 11, 1970
This track is now available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his first year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.
Here’s another rarity from the Lizard sessions. With the core instrumental backing tracks in place, Gordon Haskell lays down a guide vocal which either contains an early read-through of the not yet completed lyrics or some on the spot vamping by the singer. Fripp can also be heard limbering up for those incisive acoustic guitar runs that we know from the finished version.
Though Mark Charig’s cornet is absent, there’s a spooky cavalcade of infernal brass settings and unearthly strings from the Mellotron that will thrill lovers of this old-school proto-sampler. Also of interest is Fripp’s dabbling with the Hammond organ at the end of the piece. If you like Lizard then you’re going to love this.
