4 out of 5 stars Aphelionic liquidity.......2007-03-02

A casual fluid innocuous colloboration. Eno holds a wonderful sublime baseline ambient space as Fripp weaves a brilliant synthesized nebular guitar. There's something mysterious in the slow rhythmic dance of the constellations in the night sky. You can feel a sence of enormous distances in these slow compositions. Track to track you feel the stellar wind carry you through hypnotic filaments of intergalactic space.

5 out of 5 stars Back in form, and brilliantly. .......2006-07-31

Whoosh! It's been, wha...30 years since the wonderful two LP's "No Pussyfooting" and "Evening Star" by this pathbreaking duo of Fripp and Eno. Since then we have long hoped for more...more...from these two incredible genii of ambient-electronic music. Well, in 1994 Caroline released "The Essential Fripp And Eno" which had both LP's except for some reason they left out Side 2 of "Evening Star", "An Index Of Metals", but included 4 new tracks "Healthy Colours". Nice stuff, but not what we'd've expected. Anyhoo...here's a wonderful new selection of seven mid-size (5-9 minute) tracks of very atmospheric guitar-synthesizer, sampled synth, who-knows-what-studio-wizardry. Fripp proves to be still a very formidable guitarist, playing meltingly beautiful solos over Eno's very advanced and gorgeous electronic backings. Two tracks have notably catchy backbeats, but the others are mostly airy-ambient cloud-musics of beautiful depth and range. Let us hope that these two top-notch brilliant British musicians don't wait another 30 years to add another chapter to their output!

the most natural step they could make as a duo, this far in the future. you wonder, do eno and fripp hang out even when they're not creating a once in a billion year collaboration!? fripp. eno. eno. fripp. god bless em. no, i don't say god bless em. other reviewers say god bless em. way better than me.

5 out of 5 stars A Truly Remarkable CD!.......2006-01-15

This is Eno's best work ever and the the most interesting work we have heard from Fripp in many years. The combined talents of Fripp and Eno easily outdo any solo work either have done up to the present. Where have these guys been all this time!!This is an updated, reconsidered,teched-out Fripp and Eno for the new millenium and beyond! (Think of all the stunning world music,rock and avant garde that has passed under the bridge since their last album together!) Best of the 'Three' and a masterwork of the genre! Gentlemen,please,....Encore!!

4 out of 5 stars A Welcome Reunion.......2005-10-03

Thirty years after their two groundbreaking ambient albums, No Pussyfooting and Evening Star, Fripp and Eno recorded this long-awaited sequel. As one can guess from the CD and track titles, the soundscapes this time around are meant to evoke outer-space and alien lands. But don't mistake this for space-rock, or any kind of rock for that matter. Fripp's own soundscapes of late have tended to be harsh and dissonant, but here he and Eno return to the archetypal earlier sound with Fripp's free-form, legato guitar lines stretching out over Eno's deep, mysterious atmospheres.

Any track-by-track commentary on this type of recording would be redundant, so suffice it to say that fans of the duo's 70's collaborations will find The Equatorial Stars to be a perfect companion to No Pussyfooting and Evening Star. Superior ambient music by two of the masters of the genre.
