DJ Jimmy M, why create a topic that I have already created? I know that you are new to the forums since I have dealt with this site since 1998 (on an older computer-a now 'dead laptop). You topic is the same as mine, why not continue it on the same topic heading? Please let me know in THIS forum. All the best, DJ Phil

Phil,

I agree with you wholeheartedly. There was no reason for Jimmy to start a new thread. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to his being young and a little naive. I'm sure Jimmy won't do it again-right Jimmy? Let's move on with this and not dwell on it.

Hello Mr. Lopez, I agree with you. It was just a question to the poster. Great site and I love the message board!! All the best, DJ Phil

Please, let me correct my post. The band line-up on Fripp's album is:

ROBERT FRIPP - guitar
BUSTER JONES - bass
PAUL DUSKIN - drums
DAVID BYRNE - vocals

I don't know why I was with the name Busta Rhymes in my head, so I posted wrong in the previous mail. Forgive.

The Brian Eno-like electronic side is just instrumental.

The disco (rosco) side has only 2 songs, one of them completely instumental called THE ZERO OF THE SIGNIFIED. The other one with Byrne vocals is called UNDER HEAVY MANNERS.

But I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone.

I've never heard this, but it couldn't possibly be more self-indulgent than Fripp's "Let The Power Fall" album, could it?

For what it's worth, I quite liked the work he did with Eno, particularly the track "An Index Of Metals". An awesome sonic trip made with nothing but one guitar and tape effects.

But despite being made with similar methods, "Let The Power Fall" is boring and painful to endure... 40 minutes of distorted guitar, building up "songs" one note at a time through tape loops. I almost tossed my turntable out the window the last time I tried to listen to this.

Well Graham... FRIPP & ENO's NO PUSSYFOOTING & EVENING STAR albums are really great. Of course, progressive rock fans find those very boring, but I really enjoy those guitar and tape loops, specially on Evening Star which I think it's more athmospheric and tripping.

Since you know their 3rd effort LET THE POWER FALL, then you can get an idea of album I've mentioned before int this thread (GOD SAVE THE QUEEN):

Side one has exactly the same sound (loops) as LET THE POWER FALL.

Side 2 has those loops (he call them frippertronics) aplied to a disco-beat (this album is from 1979 or 1980).

But as I said before, I wouldn't recomend it to anyone.

One album which is quite good is BRIAN ENO'S Discreet Music.
