Robert Fripp was a guitar player from King Crimson. Brain Eno was a keyboard player from Roxy Music. One day, Eno invited Fripp over to his house one day to play around with his new toy, which was two tape recorders that were rigged up so that if you played a sound into one it would be repeated later at a lower volume and again even later at an even lower volume. They recorded a track called "The Heavenly Music Corporation" in just two takes, using only a Les Paul guitar, The Fripp Pedalboard and Two Modified Revox A77 Tape Recorders. A year later, they hooked up in a studio and made another track called "Swastika Girls" and a synthesizer with a digital sequencer into the mix. The result was a prototype for all of the ambient music to come. The music consists of guitar swells and drones, looped and layered together into big walls of sound and harmonies. The music shifts and dips as Eno disables and enables the tape device, creating some dynamic and sonic textures. Back 1973, no other music sounded like this. It was poorly received and their record label hated it. No one was ready for music that was just meant for atmosphere. This album was very interesting to listen to, and I have listened to it several times since I bought it a few months ago. You don't have to be a fan of King Crimson or Roxy Music to like ...
