What a unique and innovative album. The two tracks on this disc are great to listen to when one is studying, relaxing, or hanging out. Although it may not be to everyone's liking, the collaboration between Fripp and Eno was a unique one at its time and has not been replicated too often. THere's not much comparison; this may be the mellower side (or the more genteel British version) of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. No PussyFooting is an experiment in recording and effects. The layers of Fripps innovative guitar work and Eno's effects and recording techniques are amazing, however, I can understand how one who may not be a fan of drone and electronic ambience music may not appreciate this. I hesitate to call this ambience since that term has been usurped by new age music that pales in comparison to this collaboration. No Pussyfooting is worth the money and your time. It is a great album that is one of a kind and is rather relaxing and atmospheric, without dominating the atmosphere.Read full review
No Pussyfooting is a first project of King Crimson' Robert Fripp and ex-Roxi Music Brian Eno. No Pussyfooting represents the duo's initial experiments. "Heavenly Music Corporation" demonstrates the beauty of the setup, with several guitar and synth elements building on top of each other, the music slowly evolving, and Fripp ending the piece with low dive-bombing feedback that swoops over the soundscape, bringing the piece to its conclusion. "Swastika Girls," on the other hand, shows how the system can be abused. With too many disconnected sounds sharing the space, some discordant, some melodic, the resulting work lacks form and structure. I like works of Robert Fripp,so I bought this CD thanks to eBay.
One of the great ambient/guitar albums! Just put it on and relax! The soundworld will carry you away on a wave of synthesized guitaronics. Well worth investing in, especially if your vinyl copy has been worn through (as mine had!)
