5.0 out of 5 stars 10 stars is not enough, Jan 7 2004

This review is from: No Pussyfooting (Audio CD)

The late Charlton Williams said, back in the days before CD's, that if he was stuck on a deserted island and could only take 10 albums, he'd take 10 copies of "No Pussyfootin'." Could I argue. Robbie once said that its the album to play on a boom box on one hill and go sit on another hill. Bil replied that it's also a goo one to put in one end zone of a football field and listen from the oposite end zone. A few people have said "Have you got anything else we could listen to?"

My only problem with the album is that the titles are misnamed. "The Heavenly Music Corp" goes great with the scene in "The Boys From Brazil" where the fat German women walk into the room and awaken all the blonde nazi girls being used to breed Hitler clones. Also, the music goes great with documentaries of Concentration camps. "Swastika Girls" on the other hand is very heavenly and reminds me of casinos. If you don't believe me, go to the back of the first floor casino in the Imperial Palace in Biloxi, MS. Close your eyes, and it's there!

I love this album. No words can describe my feelings. I'll leave it at that.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's too bad..., Jan 3 2003

This review is from: No Pussyfooting (Audio CD)

...that looping didn't catch on after this record was released. but then, what could anyone do with the medium after Fripp and Eno perfected it? This album is certainly ahead of it's time, and ahead of our own time for that matter. This is music from the future.

Track one, even though it was recorded more than thirty years ago, still sounds new and fresh, even after scores of listenings. It is made up of two guitar lines - but one of them is an incredibly complex, ever-changing loop that continually unfolds out of itself and interacts with the lead line. It's almost like Fripp is soloing over an entire band. but beware the sonic onslaught of the track's last three minutes - if you don't have good speakers the low notes will probably rip your woofers apart.

Track two presents a sunnier, happier side of looping, this time with Eno supplying the loop on his synthesizer. Fripp's entry (at 7:42) is fascinating. Throughout the solo he plays riffs and figures that he still uses to this day.

A great record for listening to in a large room in the dark, lodly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music From Dreams, April 1 2004

By

Bill Haneline (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No Pussyfooting (Audio CD)

Back in the late 80s a friend at work recommended Fripp and Eno. I finally found a cassette of "No Pussyfooting" and was totally engulfed by the sounds that Fripp and Eno created on this album. I cannot believe what year this album is from when I look back at the stuff I was listening to. All that time No Pussyfooting was sitting for a decade waiting for me to discover it.
To me, this album is almost perfect, sure there are some technical glitches. Do I care? No. This was music that I was looking for, even though I didn't know it. Even now when I listen to Ambient and Dark Ambient music I use No Pussyfooting as a benchmark to judge them by.

There is no better and never will be.

1.0 out of 5 stars "No Pussyfooting" by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno
Both excellent musicians when there in a band or helping someone out with a record, but this is for die-hard fans only, might be good for some type of sci-fi movie along the lines... Read more

Although I have to say I'm not a big fan of Robert Fripp's, Brian Eno's eclectic career as a producer, composer and arranger always throws up something different. Read more
