ROBERT FRIPP & THE LEAGUE OF CRAFTY GUITARISTS: SHOW OF HANDS

A real blast! This music is very amazing for it's lively diversity. I only wish Fripp would make these sessions more frequent. Each piece is a lively and continually unfolding experience. Composed primarily of acoustic guitarists spinning their own spiraling musical lines. A Connecticut Yankee...is especially unique, invoking impressions of asian gamelans. There is an occasional vocalist and violin line; but by and large, guitars dominate. The broader musical possibilities are numerous: one cannot resist wondering how one would weave clay pots, and other percussion instruments, an acoustic bass, sitar, etc. into this note-full fabric. A real pleasure.
