4 out of 5 stars Prelude to the new King Crimson.......2007-05-08

This album was released in 1981 and is 38 minutes long.

This album was recorded just before Robert Fripp created the next version of King Crimson with Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, with Bill Buford returning, after Fripp thought the world was going to end and broke up the band in 1975.

Much of this album sounds a lot like what will appear on the next three King Crimson albums, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.

But, it isn't all King Crimson sounding. First off, it all instrumental (no vocals). And there is Andy Summer's influence and sound on many songs. Some of it might sound as if Discipline meets Ghost in the Machine (the Police album that came out right after this).

5 out of 5 stars No "YAWN" here...Classic Frippian and Summerian for sure!.......2003-09-26

Wow. This is a lovely recording of some extremely Frippian Prog. You can definately hear Andy Summers' influences in the subtext. Yes, you have to be sort of predisposed to early 80's Experimental and Prog to appreciate this unit. If you listen to Fripp's King Crimson or any Andy Summers solo stuff, this will satisfy your need for more. Fripp's "Crafy" guitar style shows up here and the intricracies abound. Definately for the Prog efficianado and the 80's-style ambient lover.

2 out of 5 stars :-Yawn-:.......2003-02-12

I bought a vynil copy of this album at a local used-record store not knowing what to expect. Since it was from 1982, I guessed that it would have a lot of the minimalist/contrapunctal type stuff that Fripp was into in that period. It does, but there doesn't seem to be very much variety in the pieces. In fact, the whole album seems to drag along with no real idea of it's own purpose. I think Fripp recorded this simply because he was in the studio with Summers. I strongly doubt that some of the pieces were even practiced beforehand.

There are a few "ambient"-style tracks thrown in for variety, but these pieces sound as though Fripp and Summers listened to a heap of old Eno records and tried to copy his style. That might be exactly what they did.

So I would say that if you are a Fripp completist, or really like his ticky-ticky guitar style of the early eighties, you will probably enjoy this disc. If not, you might find it aggravating. And DEFINETELY don't buy this based on a liking of king Crimson - Fripp outside of his band is a different player.

5 out of 5 stars Lovely, Dark, Intense.......2002-05-10

This CD is difficult to characterize. In mucical terms, it is complex and was certainly ahead of its time upon its original release date. While heavy on Fripp, Summers adds unique voicings and his contributions to this work should not be underestimated. "Girl on a Swing" is perhaps an arrangement that summarizes the musical craftsmanship on the album.
