(No Pussyfooting) by Fripp & Eno/Robert Fripp/Brian Eno.

Tracks:
Heavenly Music Corporation, The
Swastika Girls

Performer Notes:

• Personnel: Robert Fripp (guitar); Brian Eno (electronics).
• Robert Fripp's most celebrated version of King Crimson was at its peak when he took time off to record a decidedly non-rock album with his art-rock buddy Brian Eno. Both Fripp and Eno were always the most adventurous, experimental elements in their '70s bands (Crimson and Roxy Music respectively), so it's only natural that their collaboration would produce something fairly unconventional. Drawing equally on the minimalist tradition of 20th-century classical music and their own innate textural sensibilities, the duo created one of the first ambient recordings in NO PUSSYFOOTING.
• It was here that Fripp inaugurated his "Frippertronics" technique, which involved sending his guitar through a labyrinthine series of tape delays. NO PUSSYFOOTING was equally auspicious for Eno, marking his move away from pop song structure toward the ambient soundscapes that would soon define his career. On the album's two extended pieces, Fripp's echoed guitar wraps itself sinuously around Eno's subtle, organic synth washes. The result is a flowing-but-static river of sound, hypnotic and contemplative. For its historical importance, and its durability as an engaging listen, NO PUSSYFOOTING is a milestone in ambient music.

Professional Reviews: The Wire (p.67) - "[T]he most commanding presence is Fripp's serpentine electric guitar, rising out of the mist like some mythical beast...uncoiling extended solos..."

Stereo Review - Recommended

Mojo (Publisher) (p.119) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he mystic guitar and synthesizer tape-loop symphonies on PUSSYFOOTING sound both unholy modern and magically archaic..."

Record Collector (magazine) (p.89) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "NO PUSSYFOOTING is hailed as an ambient classic and this vibrant musical tapeworm of drone, echo and diamond-clear guitar still retains strong enough sea legs to mesmerise the listener."

Signal To Noise (magazine) (p.54) - "Overtones abound, introducing what was then newly atmospheric territory, as can be heard in the opening moments of `The Heavenly Music Corporation.'"
