Robert Fripp & Brian Eno- Live in Paris May 28, 1975 (CD)

Three CD live archive release. Much bootlegged, though never heard in even reasonable audio quality, this concert - one of a handful undertaken for Fripp & Eno in 1975 - is routinely described as 'legendary'. Hearing the tapes in fully restored audio quality, it's easy to understand why it attracts such reverence now and perhaps, why the shows attracted such hostility then. No Roxy Music hits, No King Crimson riffs, just a duo sitting in near darkness with a reel to reel tape recorder, improvising over the pre-recorded loops with a filmed background projection. Replace the reel to reel machine with a couple of laptops/iPads/sequencers and the core of much current live performance from Electronica to Hip-Hop was there some 30 years in advance. At the time, audiences responded to such a glimpse of the future with booing, walkouts and general confusion. Thanks to the discovery and restoration of the original backing tapes, it was possible - with much painstaking restoration work by Alex Mundy at DGM - to isolate, de-noise and match the live elements from the performance tapes to the studio loops to produce the final recording.

  1. Water on Water
  2. A Radical Representative of Pinsnip
  3. Swastika Girls
