Fripp and Eno - No Pussyfooting (1973)

Fripp and Eno - No Pussyfooting  2 CD Remaster

   With Robert Fripp (King Crimson) and keyboard ambient master Brian Eno at the helm no wonder this album is still amazes me. This IS the album that took the big dive into ambient space and launched a whole new genre of music. This album is a study in tape looks and reverb effects which is accomplished over 2 epic tracks......side one features "The Heavenly Music Corporation" with Eno's tape loop and soundscapes in full effect to which Fripp layers over some excellent reverb guitar. The whole song is really a journey into space and remains one of my favourite ambient songs of all time. Side 2 features another space tape looped epic ditty called "Swastika Girls" which ticks in at almost 20 minutes and is another great track. This remastered 2-CD edition includes the complete original album plus the entire album played in reverse and a half-speed version of the opening track "The Heavenly Music Corporation". The reversed and half-speed versions of these tracks give the music a new dimension and offers a completely new listening perspective.
