Desert Island Discs

["Peter Thompson" <pt205@hermes.cam.ac.uk>]

Here are my five faves, for what it's worth:

1    Gone to Earth (Instrumental) - David Sylvian
Why does no-one ever mention this album?  It is truly the most beautiful
looping album ever made, yet is roundly ignored, even by people who should
know better.

2    A Blessing of Tears - Robert Fripp
This is the first Fripp album to achieve something emotionally and is a
billion times better than those dull solo Frippertronics things.

3    Cathedral Oceans - John Foxx
Check this one out - a cross between Fripp's aBoT and Harold Budd.

4    Tripping Over God - David Torn
A great variety of textures and some bottom-punting guitar playing.

5    Evening Star - Fripp and Eno
Frippertronics weren't so bad when Brian lent a hand.  An Index of Metals 
is
possibly the first monumentally great looping piece.
