SOLO FRIPPERTRONICS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS INCOMPLETE
The last piece (11:04)
and
Announcement (1:34)
are missing.

If anyone has a more complete version, PLEASE SEED IT

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please visit www.dgmlive.com
and purchase the artist's official live recordings.
There are LOTS of them,
but only one full solo Frippertronics show so far
http://www.dgmlive.com/archive.htm?artist=25&show=1172
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is some doubt as to whether this is the 2nd or first show.
At this INCREDIBLE Frippertronics web site

http://home.cogeco.ca/~frippertronics2/Fripp-1978-02-05-NYC-2ndHouse.htm

the webmaster believes that this is the 1st show.
I think it is the second because when I got a tape of the other show in September 1978 I was told that it was from the first show.

He's probably right, but either way, it really doesn't matter much

-------------------------------------------------
THE TITLES
I just made them up.
Don't blow a gasket. Some people get upset that I assigned titles to these originally untitled pieces. Lighten up. It's just a goof. If you'd prefer to call them "Piece #1", etc, be my guest.


01 Staring Even 13:23
02 A Ring, Steven 17:32
03 Crowd Noise 0:30
04 Raven Tinges 31:23
06 Mooncowisms 18:53


-------------------------------------------------
LINEAGE:

audience > a bunch of generations, most likely on cassette > cassette > FLAC via xAct

No noise reduction or any other alteration/enhancement has been done.

-------------------------------------------------
THE SOUND:
In glorious monophonic sound.
Kinda hissy

This would probably benefit from some noise reduction,
which I would NEVER attempt.
If anyone would like to try and clean this up, go right ahead.
------------------------------------
HEY GANG:
I offer what I have, with ALL the information known to me.
If you've got a better version, seed it.
If you have more accurate information, please add it in a comment.
If anyone would like to attempt a remaster, go right ahead.

Try and keep it positive.
Let's make DIME as good an experience for all as possible.

cheers,
