3 stars It´s been a while since I been searching for this album, I will not charge my rating with that, therefore I stay on the pure pleasure of the unknown and rate it as such.

More like Heldon , thank all gods less than Fripp, although John Livengood saves it all, Richard Pinhas stays close to his own language, obviously influenced by King Crimson but he overcomes this obstacle by following the tune and less falling off the wagon and plagiarizing King Robert Fripp.

Electronics and experimatation brings the Cyborg Sally´s spirit out of it. Some cybernetic male vocals enhance the robotic feel, Livengood´s keys help a lot with the futuristic and menacing environments and also with the peaceful ones and Pinhas a more violent performer paints out a contrast between both sides. Expect also electronic percussions here and there by the way.

Richard Pinhas & John Livengood -"‎Cyborg Sally" (1994), is deep, daring and inventive but not enough to step away from the Crimson King´s domain, yet it is worth your while, not a must but you will surely find some very pleasant moments and better yet a favorite and memorable track. As for me I will keep it.

Now! In this Prog world´s universal criteria a 3 star rating + my review is fair.
