The latest in Mister Stormy's Monday Selection (Occasional Series - Acts of Random Archive Rummaging) is Trap. Taken from the recording sessions for The League Of Gentlemen’s 1981 sole album, this version of the live footstomper Trap is stripped of its drums to reveal the nimble finger work of Fripp, Lee, and Andrews. Beautifully interlocking, like a well-oiled mechanism, while Fripp sometimes described the League as “a second wave dance band with the emphasis on spirit rather than competence,” as can be clearly heard on this outing the band was clearly capable of delivering both.
