[Review] Fripp & Eno: (No Pussyfooting) (1973)

What do you get when you combine the geniuses from King Crimson and Roxy Music? A stultifying album of electronics and tape loops.

A candybox of art-rock confections featuring members of Roxy Music, King Crimson and Sharks that reveals Eno to be a one-of-a-kind kook.

Eno’s warped pop sensibilities and ambient interests merge on his magnum opus.

Fripp and Eno return for another album of soothing electronic loops on side one, and dark electronic space music on side two.

Trick of the Tail proved there would be life after Lamb, but not this album.

Not quite another Another Green World, but a final airing out of vocal ideas featuring Eno’s skewed pop/rock sensibilities.

Scratching at greatness, this is a study in light and dark featuring modern rock songs and achingly sad songs too.

Ambient bits and pieces create a kind of Whitman’s Sampler of wispy works.

A remarkable musical travelogue that reflects his recent work with David Bowie, Darryl Hall, Peter Gabriel, The Roches and Brian Eno.

The best album of 1979? Melody Maker thought so, and I’m inclined to agree.

A half album each of Frippertronics and discotronics, the latter serving as a bridge between “I Zimbra” and Discipline.

His breakthrough third album mixes world music with world politics to sometimes shocking effect.

There is a law, apparently, that every rock guitarist has to make at least one noodly album of guitar sounds.

Ready for another Summers and Fripp album? Neither were they.
