EVENING STAR

Quite simply a sublime and beautiful album. The songs are more fully realized than on the first Eno-Fripp collaboration No Pussyfooting and are consequentially more emotional and moving. The second side (when recordings had sides) An Index of Metals is one of the most dark and compelling ambient frippertronics pieces I've ever heard. The shorter pieces run the gamut from sublime to trancendant, always interesting and often hauntingly melodic. This album is a tour de force and highly recommened or those who enjoy musicians stepping out and playing in an unproscribed fashion.
