Fripp opens up in the second half finding a jazzy scat reference to Fracture amidst the thrust and thwack of Belew’s V-drum pads and patches of X-Chayn-Jiz, but without doubt the stand-out track here is House I. Over an especially groovesome Belew beat and inquisitive bassline skirmishing from Gunn, Fripp lays down those Starless-like symphonic chords that would eventually find a home on Thrush. It’s a simple but highly effective use of space and timing. Things get even better when Gunn and Fripp begin their entwined lead lines (usually found on Sus-Tayn-Z) at around the 2.50 mark. You want thrills? You got thrills aplenty!
Little wonder that in his reflection on the gig Gunn observes “When we went on for the second half we left "moody" behind. We hit our stride somewhere in the middle of some heavy blowing. When the music seemed pitched as intense as we thought it could get, and were ready to back down, it wouldn't let us down and moved to higher intensity. And then when we though it had finally peaked, it went yet again to another level. Unbelievable!”
