ROBERT FRIPP & ANDY SUMMERS: BEWITCHED

An album I picked up as soon as it came out (back when I was a daily frequenter of the local records stores). The idea of the album intrigued me--though I never expected Summers to hold his own against the Fripp-genius. Still, knowing the diversity of styles Señor Robert had tried (and having been an avid fan of it all), and seeing Andy's ventures into the world of synthesized sounds, I had to give it a try. And I gave it far more attention than perhaps it even deserved. Don't get me wrong: it's all very likable--with a couple songs that even made regular rotations on my driving cassette tapes--and it does represent the technology of the times (what we thought might be the future of music, at the time)-- but there's really little here to demand shouting from the rooftops. Plus, it's predecessor, I Advance Masked, was fresh and refreshing; this one does little new.
