I bought this album when it came out, and a couple others that resulted from the Fripp/Summers collaboration. Looking back, I'm not sure what possessed me to by it as I had zero idea who Robert Fripp was. I knew Andy Summers from the Police, but even then I had no real admiration or love of his guitar playing. I suppose I was thinking I'd get an album of somewhat eclectic songs like "Mother" from Synchronicity. Little did I know....
Maybe it's the wine (who am I kidding...it IS the wine), but the album stands the test of time. Each song is different on many different levels. While the "sound" stays the same (you can tell the difference between Summers and Fripp) the rhythm, pacing, atmosphere and feeling change from song to song. I love that. So many artists these days sound the same: same song, same sound, same engineering.
Okay - lame post, but I wanted to write. Just felt the need....
