Well, their wish is part answered with the new Fripp & Eno collection, available from (among other places) _www.enoshop.co.uk_ (http://www.enoshop.co.uk) Ignore the "Items will be delivered with 28 days" message. My copy arrived in my post less than 24 hrs after ordering - well done Shakedown Records!. Mark Edwards of Sunday Times (Oct 21) says: "Brian Eno and Robert Fripp have been collaborating for more than 30 years, so you probably know already whether you like what they do. If so, then this album is a bit of a result - and a bit of a surprise, actually. They released only one album (2004's The Equatorial Stars) in the period under discussion, yet here is a whole album's worth of offcuts and outtakes. Presumably, much of this music was made with no specific project in mind, a theory suppoerted by the "let's come back to this one later" nature of some of the titles (Ringing Beat, Dirt Loop, Voices). The tracks vary wildly - the creeping threat of Sneering Loop, the shuddering chaos of Cross Crisis in Lust Storm, the sombre ambience of Glass Structure - but the sounding-like-nobody-else-ness remains consistent." For my money, it's good to have a new release CD encased in a new artwork by Russell Mills (no relation but once a neighbour). For value for money, the bonus CD doesn't have any extra tracks but the same ones again, this time segued together. Hurrah! All good things Richard Mills ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:08:15 EDT From: KWil632057@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Be of good cheer As if they'd dare keep you waiting Richard!
