Eight days into a series of promotional visits that saw him in Brussels, France, the UK (in Glasgow and Newcastle), and Sweden, the Frippertonics roadshow rolls into Denmark.

Set up in the well-lit sunny surroundings of the winter gardens of the Karlsberg Library to an audience of around 300 people, after an introduction explaining his current work, Fripp begins a concert of sublimely reflective Frippertronics. The opening piece sees drifting banks of notes slowly accruing, from which smaller skittish figures later take flight from the fretboard and begin filling the air.

The intensity building at around the five minute mark of the first piece, as darker bass tones swell and slides beneath the taut repeating notes, is another example of how the guitarist introduces dramatic tension in the music without recourse to histrionics or showmanship, producing something that is utterly engrossing, absorbing and deeply satisfying.

Originally working with a bootleg cassette, DGM engineer Alex “Stormy Mundy, was struck by the performance. “I felt that the music was very moving, and it really did connect with me. So I went into the Frippertronics archive and transferred the actual ¼” reel and have put the two together, as with previous shows, e.g. Fripp & Eno. I could have just uploaded the reel to reel tape, but the boot cassette really does add a presence to this show.”

Fripp’s introduction sums up the concert, and by extension, this download, perfectly.
“The idea of this event is not that I’m important, or that you are important but that we are all of equal value...the idea is that if we can bring attention to listen then your contribution is at least as great as mine.”

Best Pure Frippertronics Release Yet?
Really really enjoying this set and had to speak up. In spite of "just" being a 2 song set it’s absolutely worth every penny and a Frippertronics devotee’s fantasy: A fly on the wall’s live sonic view of the Frippertronics process at the height of its majesty. Removed from the punk sensibilities of New York & America where the shorter pieces might be more appropriate, he pulls out the stops and weaves two magnificent sound tapestries made up of sections linked by common aural themes. ...

Another Fine Release
This latest in the series of Frippertronics release is another fine entry. Sound Quality is much better than the old cassette I’ve had for years. If you enjoy the solo Frippertronics, don’t hesitate, snatch this one. You will not be disappointed.This music takes me places unlike any other music I’ve ever heard. It’s primal, and timeless, and engaging in a way unlike anything else.As always, please release the Feb. 5, 1978 NYC Kitchen show, a truly wonderful and unique performance - and m...

Beautiful
Very glad the audience recording was incorporated into the upload as the natural reverb from the venue really adds a lot of character to this Frippertronics show.  The atmosphere and attentive audience appears to have made the difference and really brought out some beautiful music.  Green Music for Libraries II is particularly riveting.  An infant can be heard also voicing his or her opinion at one point and strangely is not unwelcomed element.  I’ve noticed that ...
