This is the new orchestral soundscapes CD released by DGM, which has been nearly a decade in the making. Originally recorded back in 2003, the Metropol Orchestra played a concert in which Fripp’s ethereal guitar-synth driven soundscapes were transposed for orchestra.
Here I am opening the CD and looking at the booklet with a full review of the album to follow.

The latest album release from Phil Manzanera sees him branching out into experimental territory and working with street poet Anna Le to combine his instrumental pieces with her urban poetry.
The limited edition of this set comes with a book of the poetry and four extra tracks.
Whilst perusing eBay, I came across this item and thought it would be a jolly wheeze if I unboxed something from 1994 and then do a playthrough of the software, adding my usual frothy comments of fun. It’s a bit long, but enjoyable with a cup of coffee…OK?
Kraftwerk recently played eight consecutive nights at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in which they performed a retrospective of their musical career. In honour of this event, 2000 copies of “The Collection” were released in a black cover. This box set was previously released in 2009 in a white box, and it features all of the band’s albums remastered with new artwork and a series of glossy booklets.
This is my unboxing video of the Retrospective Reissue of “The Catalogue”
This is a short composition based on a riff I improvised around at the beginning of the month. It’s a bit of a rag-tag song, but there’s something in there worth keeping.
After reading your wonderful comments, I realised that there was a genuine interest in hearing my thoughts on Anthony Phillips – yes, I do plan to do a primer in the future though I might have to split it into two or just make it an hour long – and so here is me ruminating on his wonderful debut, “The Geese & The Ghost”.
