When the moody slo-mo burn of Frippertronics meets the bright and brittle guitar chords of Sunday All Over The World’s Blood Bruise Tattoo, it’s a brand new example of Applied Frippetronics courtesy of Alex ‘Stormy’ Mundy's Monday Selection, newly added to the online archive today. Download here.
The track, from the underrated self-titled album by Sunday All Over The World (which featured Toyah Willcox and Trey Gunn), when combined with what is a completely different musical event almost a decade later, creates new and intriguing associations and resonances, one gently and sympathetically complementing the other.
The Frippertronics were performed at a benefit concert for WXPN FM, the radio station of the University of Pennsylvania. The show (all of which is downloadable from DGMLive) was a significant event for Fripp as he related to journalist Vic Garbarini.”I was listening and I heard the next note I had to play. And I played it. Then I heard the next note, and I played that one. I'd been waiting 23 years for that to happen…and it was the first time it ever happened to me. And I started to cry while I was playing.”
