Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting (1973)

Very early ambient/drone album - not

drone as it is today, there is no SunnO)))

heaviness but nevertheless there is a

quiet menace amongst the atmospherics.

Eno operates two tape decks that are

looping endlessly over each other while

Fripp improvises guitar solos - some

which are looped and some that drift

in and out.

The drones are ever shifting, with textured

layers of sound.

I have heard this called background music but

this deserves to be listened to as a record in

all its glory.
