DEJA VROOOM

Ok, talking about their scenic aspects on stage, I don't think They are the best example: Fripp, always sitting on a chair in front of a lot of pedals and effect processors, is almost hidden; while the other musicians are careful to their execution more than any other aspect regarding the artistic presentation. well some tunes are boring; instead for example the extract from "Thrak" is always stunning (but also the classic "Red"), though in the opposite the songs from Wroom are a bit less thrilling and quite tiring at the end. Ok it's a question of music tastes, but usually I don't think it's so exciting to see them live; nevertheless this video production regarding their famous gig dated 1995 (DVD released on 1999) is exceptional, and moreover its audio of first class as well: above all if you consider the splendid tracks from "Discipline", plus an extract from Lark's Tongue in Aspic (II), making the show very captivating, you're very satisfied after all.therefore the long experimental jam sessions (sometimes too much loud and with too many dissonant/overdriven guitar riffs too) have been constantly a "trademark" of Fripp along with his atonal scales, even when the drumming touch of Bruford is supported by the remarkable percussions. In fact in general the rhythmical aspects concerning the execution of Pat Mastellotto couldn't replace at all the drum set by Bill, but in a lot of interesting breaks-through his percussive section is pretty good anyway.so if you're fond of the modern albums of the "Fripp-Era" (also forgetting the recent disappointing albums), this video perhaps witnesses the best live moments of their controversial reunion, that is a very important event for this band, which represents itself as a sort of "Arabian Phoenix" , always rising from its ashes!!.
