Un tel iconoclasme, une telle grandeur, un tel improbable paysage cosmique plein de ténèbres, de lumière, de peur et d’émerveillement et surtout de mystère, avec des déflagrations qui vous plongent dans une transe suivie de changements soudains qui vous réveillent, les yeux écarquillés et les sourcils frissonnants. J'écoute cela de temps en temps depuis des lustres et j'entends encore de nouvelles subtilités 🔥
why the internet can be a good thing.
i have never seen any of this material performed live. What a fucking treat. Chills throughout
My favorite Frith album. .
He’s got a special thing, Fred does.
Wonderful stuff! Nice upload Bas!
amo este disco, le oigo desde mi revelde juventud, hermoso montaje quiero estar ahí con mi bandoneon 🎶!!!
What a treat! Thanks much.
intimate Composer , impressionistic and uncompromising ; the great Fred Frith !!
This Made my day
Saw these guys at Slim's in San Francisco, fucking wonderful!
Memories... Of my cut out vinyl "Ralph Records" copy. WITH An acoustic bass!! How the lady get's it to sound electric I do not know... And the drummer adds a Chris Cutler flair that was missing from the original! I think the original had a dominant "harpsichoridish" keyboard. Missed, but whatever...
Breathtaking rendition of breathtaking album. Sure wish the camera person could have moved around a bit more to include all the musicians. Apparently there was a bass player, a second guitarist and a woman with a bun on her head.
Thank you Darrylizer!
saw this at FIMAV...memorable night
great work!
Thankyou for the upload Bas!
Siempre tan interesante el maestro Fred Frith.. bravo!!
still love your work!!
Holy Zappa.!!!!...Really good
One of my favorite records - this sounds rather soporific. Better than nothing but only just. No comparison to the original.

not sure if you realized, Frith himself says the record is heavily studio-based.
