TODD RUNDGREN

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential `60’s psychedelic group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt. But it was 1972’s seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him ‘Rock’s New Wunderkind’. It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and the above mentioned A Wizard, A True Star, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light, Hello It’s Me, Can We Still Be Friends, and Bang The Drum.

In 1974, Todd formed Todd Rundgren’s Utopia (renamed and reconfigured in 1976 as Utopia), an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship, and embarked on an extensive round of touring and recording. Standout Utopia offerings included Oops! Wrong Planet, Adventures in Utopia, and Oblivion. Along the way, Todd Rundgren’s Utopia combined technical virtuosity and creative passion to create music that initially, for millions, defined the term “progressive rock”, and subsequently, as Utopia, the term “powerpop”.

Rundgren’s myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meat Loaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates. Rounding out his reputation as rock’s Renaissance Man, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp’s 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton’s Up Against It (the screenplay commissioned by The Beatles for what was meant to have been their third motion picture). He also has composed the music for the hit film Dumb and Dumber, as well as a number of television series, including Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Crime Story.

In 2009 Rundgren performed his iconic 1973 album A Wizard A True Star in concert in its entirety for the first time ever, and several years later did the same with a double bill: Todd & Healing. He has toured with Ringo Starr as an erstwhile member of the All-Starr Band since 1989, and continues to perform with symphony orchestras both domestically and internationally. In 2018 he toured North America with original Utopians Kasim Sulton and Willie Wilcox for the first time in 33 years. After the release of his long-awaited autobiography The Individualist, he spearheaded the world’s first hybrid concert/book tour highlighting music across his 50-plus-year career.

In 2017 on successive weekends he was awarded honorary doctorates from both the Berklee School of Music and DePauw University.

In 1998 Todd debuted his new PatroNet technology which for the first time allowed fans of a musical artist to subscribe directly to the artist’s musical output via the Internet. This caps a long history of groundbreaking early multimedia “firsts”, including:

•1978: The first interactive television concert, broadcast live over the Warner/QUBE system in Columbus, Ohio (the home audience chose each song in real time during the concert by voting via QUBE’s 2-way operating system).
•1978: The first live nationally broadcast stereo radio rock concert (by microwave), linking 40 cities around the country.
•1979: The opening of Utopia Video Studios, a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art facility. The first project produced by Todd there is Gustav Holst’s The Planets, commissioned by RCA Selecta Vision as the first demonstration software for their new videodisc format.
•1980: Creation of the first color graphics tablet, which was licensed to Apple and commercially released as The Utopia Graphics Tablet.
•1981: Time Heals, the first music video to utilize state-of-the-art compositing of live action and computer graphics (produced and directed by Todd), becomes the eighth video to be played during the launch of MTV on August 1, 1981.
•1982: The first live national cablecast of a rock concert (on the USA Network), simulcast in stereo to over 120 radio stations.
•1982: The first two commercially released music videos, one of which was nominated for the first-ever Grammy awarded for “Best Short Form Video” in 1983.
•1992: The first commercially available music downloads via CompuServe.
•1993: The release of “No World Order”, the world’s first interactive record album on CD-i.
•1994: The release of “The Individualist”, the world’s first full-length Enhanced CD.
•1994: The world’s first interactive concert tour.
•1998: Launches PatroNet, the world’s first direct artist subscription service — predicts that someday “music will be sold by the pound”.
•2016: The production of the world’s first full length concert shot with multiple Virtual Reality 360º cameras.
•2021: Spearheaded the “Clearly Human” virtual concert tour, featuring 25 live-streamed performances geo-fenced and tailored to a different US city each night.

10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF BRUCE SOORD’S EPONYMOUS DEBUT ALBUM SET FOR RELEASE ON 30th MAY

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF BRUCE SOORD’S EPONYMOUS DEBUT ALBUM SET FOR RELEASE ON 30th MAY

REMASTERED AT HALF-SPEED AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS AND PRESENTED ON PEARL BLUE VINYL

A decade ago, Bruce Soord—the creative force behind The Pineapple Thief—released his eponymous debut solo album, a deeply personal exploration of memory, place, and identity. Now, ten years on, it is revisited in a newly remastered edition, mastered at half speed at Abbey Road Studios and presented on pearl blue vinyl, set for release on 30th May on Kscope.

‘He’s created something remarkable’ – CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE

‘Soord has genuinely created something truly outstanding’ – PROG MAGAZINE

In contrast to the expansive, cinematic soundscapes of his band, Bruce Soord revealed a more introspective and organic side to his songwriting. Since its original release in 2015, Soord’s career has continued to evolve. As The Pineapple Thief’s principal songwriter and producer, he has guided the band through a series of acclaimed albums, including Your Wilderness (2016), Dissolution (2018), Versions of the Truth (2020), and 2024’s chart-topping It Leads to This, each refining and expanding the band’s distinctive fusion of progressive and alternative rock. Beyond his work with The Pineapple Thief, Soord has established himself as a sought-after producer and mix engineer, lending his expertise to artists such as TesseracT, Opeth, and Jethro Tull, while also continuing his solo work with All This Will Be Yours (2019) and Luminescence (2023).

2015 feels like yesterday, although a very different yesterday. My twin boys were 7 years old. My daughter, who is now 6, yet to be. I had just taken the jump to become a professional musician. And like many ‘professionals’ in the music industry, I was broke. Listening to this record takes me right back, the ‘familiar patterns’ of everyday life, ‘the odds’ of making any kind of real success out of my music, while languishing in my studio in my home town of Yeovil. Buried here. But there is one song on this record that probably says everything I ever wanted to say.  ‘Field Day Part 2’ will forever have a special place in my heart. – Bruce Soord

Experimental Musician Billy Yfantis Presents the Space-Inspired Album New Moon

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Experimental Musician Billy Yfantis Presents the Space-Inspired Album New Moon

Inspired by the breathtaking phenomenon of the Moon’s phases, New Moon highlights Yfantis’ lifelong passion for astronomy. The album’s idea is based on the eight principal moon phases—the constant transition from darkness to light and back again—resulting from the ever-changing interaction of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. This cosmic story runs through the album, encouraging listeners to discover the beauty and mystery of the universe.

Each track has been specifically created to reflect a different stage of the Moon, from the calm mystery of the New Moon to the bright peak of the Full Moon and the elegant retreat into Fading Lights. Throughout the album, Yfantis combines layered analog synths, atmospheric drones, and throbbing rhythms to create an atmosphere that reflects the adventurous spirit of his musical inspirations.

Billy Yfantis’ style is a distinct mix of Tangerine Dream’s ethereal, space soundscapes and Vangelis’ dramatic, epic synthesizer soundscapes. His work also pays tribute to Jean-Michel Jarre’s revolutionary compositions, whose adventurous, experimental approach to electronic music paved the way for new audio exploration. New Moon, packed with the raw spirit of krautrock, combines analog warmth with up-to-date digital production to create multilayered deep soundscapes that reflect nostalgia as well as futuristic excitement.

New Moon Tracklist:

1. New Moon

2. Waxing Crescent

3. First Quarter

4. Waxing Gibbous

5. Full Moon

6. Waning Gibbous

7. Last Quarter

8. Waning Crescent

9. First Light

10. Celestial Dust

11. Moon Shadows

12. Fading Lights

EXPERIENCE THE ENDURING LEGACY OF HORSLIPS WITH MADFISH’S NEW 5 DISC SET ‘HORSLIPS – AT THE BBC’

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

EXPERIENCE THE ENDURING LEGACY OF HORSLIPS WITH MADFISH’S NEW 5 DISC SET HORSLIPS – AT THE BBC

4CD + DVD SET COMPRISING LIVE PERFORMANCES, BBC TV FOOTAGE AND RARE ARCHIVAL MATERIAL

Few bands have left as distinct a mark on the musical landscape as Horslips. Emerging in the early 1970s, they more or less created ‘Celtic Rock’, drawing from Irish traditional music and British/American rock, crafting a sound that was both timeless and radical.

The BBC captured the band in the 1970s and again during their unexpected Indian summer return in the 2010s. At The BBC gathers these vital recordings – spanning nearly 50 years – into one definitive collection.

WATCH THE HORSLIPS AT THE BBC TRAILER

PRE-ORDER HORSLIPS – AT THE BBC (30th May 2025)

Disc 1 (1973–74) – Live BBC performances from Radio 1 In Concert, Old Grey Whistle Test, and John Peel Show, capturing Horslips’ early energy and innovation.

Disc 2 (1979–2019) – A 1979 Radio 1 In Concert set, a 2010 unplugged session, and their final 2019 recording, Sideways to the Sun.

Disc 3 (2011) – The BBC Radio Ulster mix of their orchestral concert with the Ulster Orchestra, featuring The Táin, The Book of Invasions, and I’ll Be Waiting.

Disc 4 (1979 Bonus Disc) – Unreleased Short Stories, Tall Tales studio mixes from Windmill Lane.

Disc 5 (DVD) – Old Grey Whistle Test clips, 1974 documentary footage & 2011 fan-shot concert videos.

Disc 1 begins the journey in 1973–74, landmark years in which Horslips took their fusion of mythology and musicianship to the airwaves and concert halls of Britain. Included are performances from Radio 1’s In Concert, The Old Grey Whistle Test, Radio 1’s Sounds of the 70s, 2nd House (BBC 2) and Radio 1’s John Peel Show, showcasing the group in full flight, brimming with invention and zeal.

By 1979, fresh from the inevitable hard slog of trying to conquer America, Horslips returned to Radio 1’s In Concert with a set that captured their ability to fit in with the times and the power of their live performances. Disc 2 continues with an unplugged ‘comeback’ session from 2010 and a BBC NI performance in 2019 of ‘Sideways to the Sun’ – written about magical Irish beings disappearing from mortal sight – which would, perhaps fittingly, prove to be their last official recording.

Disc 3 presents Horslips’ unique 2011 performance with the Ulster Orchestra at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall, in its previously unreleased BBC Radio Ulster broadcast mix. Including epic suites from classic albums The Táin and The Book of Invasions and fan favourites like the eight-minute ‘I’ll Be Waiting’, a showcase for late guitarist Johnny Fean (d. 2023), many – including band members – view this concert as Horslips’ finest hour (and a quarter).

Disc 4 is a bonus disc, comprising recently discovered 1979 ‘working mixes’ of the album Short Stories, Tall Tales, recorded at Dublin’s Windmill Lane. They offer an intimate glimpse into a band in transition, shifting from the US FM rock that had influenced recent albums towards the spikier, sharper British New Wave sound.

At The BBC is completed by a DVD bringing together clips from The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1974 documentary material and magical fan footage of two songs from the 2011 Waterfront Hall concert, synced to sparkling BBC audio.

Presented in a deluxe hardback book package with rare photographs and extensive liner notes by band biographer Mark Cunningham, legendary BBC producer Jeff Griffin and curator Colin Harper, At The BBC is a celebration of a band whose influence still echoes through the decades. The mastering is shared by Eroc in Germany and band associate Cormac O’Kane who mastered the acclaimed 2023 Horslips box set More Than You Can Chew.

Horslips – At The BBC will be released on Madfish on 30th May 2025. Pre-order here.

Prog Duo Days Between Stations Updates on “Being” & “Perpetual Motion Machines (Music for a Film)”

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Prog Duo Days Between Stations Updates on “Being” & “Perpetual Motion Machines (Music for a Film)”

The Days Between Stations music video collaboration with Durga McBroom is called “Being.” The band and Durga are available for interviews on both video and the new Days Between Stations’ album, “Perpetual Motion Machines (Music for a Film).”

The group’s manager and video producer Erik Nielsen created the video from concept to final editing. “He’s produced all of our music videos,” guitarist Sepand Samzadeh says. “This is our third video shoot with Erik, he has a minimalist approach to matching visuals to the music. He has a great sense of style, creativity, strong leadership qualities, and extensive knowledge of technology.” Erik and his Supposable Productions have worked with the classic rock and prog community for a variety of video productions—such as streaming the ProgStock Festival, video production for Las Vegas’ hit show “Raiding the Rock Vault,” and music videos for many artists—notably Dave Kerzner, Asia Featuring John Payne and hard rock band “Last in Line” on Frontiers Records.

Through the years prog greats including Yes’s Billy Sherwood, Peter Banks, and Rick Wakeman, plus XTC’s Colin Moulding have collaborated with Days Between Stations. Then there’s Durga McBroom, known for her phenomenal musical and theatrical background, including singing for Pink Floyd from 1987-1994, acting and dancing as the character “Heels” in the movie “Flashdance,” and hitting number 1 on the Billboard dance charts and on Top of the Pops with the song “(Can You) Feel the Passion.” Now along with her sister Lorelei, she’s in the Australian Pink Floyd Show and recent starring role in the satire movie, “Sammy-Gate.”

Billy Sherwood produced Durga with keyboardist Oscar Fuentes Bills and Sepand for a song and music video “Witness the End of the World” on the album “Giants,” released in 2020 and voted track of the week by Prog magazine readers.

When it came time to find a singer for “Being,” the only song with lyrics on “Perpetual Motion Machines,” the band knew Durga was a perfect fit. The “Being” music video ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6UNQsUpAxs ) makes use of colors, light, and  people!

Erik wanted to first showcase Durga’s amazing stage presence and present the band in a stylized performance setting, “and use some simple visual effects to suggest different aspects of the concept of ‘Being.’”  Oscar based the song’s lyrics around the general concept of existence and trying to interject what artist Jean-Paul Bourdier’s art “inspired us to do, and we let the music speak for itself.” (“Perpetual Motion Machines” initially was intended to be a film soundtrack for a documentary on the artist.)

“Seeds,” the first video ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kmLDoapIkg ) in “Perpetual Motion Machines” won track of the week by Prog UK readers. ProgRock.com cites “Being” as one of the best epic songs of 2024.  MusikReviews.de praises everyone’s work, citing Durga closing “the all-round emotionally cinematic and moving album with a quiet song that gives the entire album an unusual (vocal) twist.” Echoes and Dust praises Durga for her “angelic, soulful voice” and makes comparisons throughout the review to a range of classic treats including music by Alan Parsons and David Bowie!

The band sees Durga as a force like a Jedi! Sepand says, “She has so much experience and talent and her confidence just glides in with her energy.  She is a true professional.” One of Sepand’s fondest memories is playing, and when she started singing, “It feels like thunder struck my back. I looked over to Oscar and we telepathically spoke with each other… the message was if we died that day, we were grateful for this moment, we experienced brilliance at its best.”

Likewise, Durga loves collaborating, which allows her to “add my brand of art to that of others, thereby creating something totally new and different. I would urge people to find other artists to collaborate with. You learn a lot, and it can push you out of your comfort zone.” Durga feels much respect for Oscar’s lyric writing, “I learned how to make his vision come alive by making it personal.”

Sepand relates, “When you are surrounded by so much love, talent and creativity everyone elevates you to your new best.

Formed 20 years ago in Los Angeles, Sepand and Oscar named the band after Steve Erickson’s novel “Days Between Stations.” The Pineapple Thief’s Bruce Soord inspired the band to work on their music after he used some of Sepand and Oscar’s musical experiments as the basis for “Saturday” on The Pineapple Thief’s “12 Stories Down” album. The duo continued to work with a range of musicians on what became their first release, “Days Between Stations,” in 2007. Their 2012 recording “In Extremis” was produced by Yes’ Billy Sherwood. In 2020 they released “Giants.”

UK Guitar Legend Gordon Giltrap’s To Release New Album “Starfield” Feb 28, 2025

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

UK Guitar Legend Gordon Giltrap’s To Release New Album “Starfield” Feb 28, 2025

This product is on pre-order and will be released Feb 28th!

Despite facing challenges in the ever-changing music industry, Gordon Giltrap has remained a steadfast figure in the world of acoustic guitar music. His dedication to his craft and his ability to connect with audiences through his music have cemented his status as a beloved and influential artist. In recent years, he has continued to perform, record, and inspire new generations of guitarists. Giltrap’s enduring legacy lies not only in his technical mastery but also in his ability to convey profound emotion and storytelling through his instrument, making him a true icon of British guitar music.

The best person to tell you about Gordons new album, Starfield, is the man himself, here it is track by track

STARFIELD (VOCAL)

I shared a dream about my late wife Hilary with my friend, the poet and song writer Rhona Dickson. She was deeply moved by the story and felt compelled to write some words and a melody line over the top of her favourite Gordon Giltrap tune ‘Starfield.’ On first hearing I knew there was something deep, special and haunting about it. I had been working with the superb Welsh singer songwriter Susy Wall at the time and asked if she would like to add her lovely voice to the track. The end result is what you are hearing now!

THE DODO’S DREAM This version is the work of my friend Paul White. My contribution to the track was to play the acoustic sections, Paul did the rest, adding sonic soundscapes and his soulful blues guitar.

12 TOWERS AT DAWN This track was inspired by the work of the fantasy artist Rodney Matthews and his image ‘12 Towers At Dawn.’ The piece is one of my medieval flavoured tunes that had been around for a while. When my friend, the brilliant Italian progressive rock musician, Alessandro Corvaglia was writing material for his new album, I offered the tune as a gift to be included, he kindly responded in the affirmative and produced this stunning version, which in my opinion, took it to another level, far beyond just solo guitar!

THE FOX AT DAWN My thanks to Mark Guyatt for his keyboard arrangements, capturing the feel of a misty dawn morning, and to Mark and Jane Day for the inspiration behind the piece.

SMALL POCKETS OF JOY I thought it only fitting to include a solo guitar tune for this release. I had Pete Townshend’s ‘Substitute’ in mind as the building block for this tune. STARFIELD (INSTRUMENTAL) Composed 2019 on a budget Fender guitar. The whole thing took 20 minutes to write, but slightly longer to record!

Trey Gunn’s 7d Media Releases Experimental Guitarist, Composer, and Producer Andre LaFosse Releases “Entry Level: An Introduction to Andre LaFosse” Spanning More Than Twenty Years of His Career

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Trey Gunn’s 7d Media Releases Experimental Guitarist, Composer, and Producer Andre LaFosse Releases “Entry Level: An Introduction to Andre LaFosse” Spanning More Than Twenty Years of His Career

“When I dreamed up a new collection of experimental guitarists for 7d, Andre was my instant first pick.” – Trey Gunn

7D Media is proud to announce that experimental guitarist, composer, and producer Andre LaFosse is joining our musical family with “Entry Level: An Introduction to Andre LaFosse.” Spanning more than twenty years of his career, this 14 track album brings together remastered classics, remixed favorites, and even offers a sneak peek into the future with an exclusive new track.

Throughout the collection, LaFosse’s distinctive “turntablist guitar” technique takes center stage, showcasing his skill in looping, multitracking, and creative sound manipulation. The title track, “Entry Level,” debuts as an electrifying preview of his upcoming album, “Then Again,” scheduled for release later this year on Trey Gunn’s experimental music label, 7D Media.

Highlights include the energetic “Hard Sci-Fi” (2012), the genre-defying “Interference” (2003), and a re-amped version of “Balancing Act” (2012), along with updated renditions of “Disambiguation,” “IMNSHO,” and “Seismic.”

This compilation serves as the perfect starting point for new listeners while also offering longtime fans a rich archive of LaFosse’s evolving artistry – from early experiments like “Signify” (1999) to more recent explorations such as “Each Planet a Complete Society” (2022). Aligning seamlessly with 7D Media’s mission to spotlight groundbreaking artists, “Entry Level” stands as a testament to LaFosse’s enduring creativity and his significant contributions to the experimental guitar music landscape.

“I first encountered Andre’s musical vision through his release ‘Normalized’ and within two bars I was floored. Finally! Someone had taken guitar-looping into wild new territory. While everyone else was crafting these big, swirling, watery pieces à la Robert Fripp (I’d been wrestling with that myself), Andre completely threw out the rulebook.

His ‘Normalized’ sound was seriously funky stuff – think more Carlos Alomar (Bowie), Adrian Belew, and Fela Kuti’s guitar players. More James Brown swagger than Brian Eno dreamscape.

And his looping technique? Totally ‘wrong’ by convention, and brilliantly so! He was corrupting those guitar loops like a mad scientist: chopping them up, stretching them out, breaking them into tiny blips before expanding them back again. No more of those long, drippy sustaining guitar layers – this was musical fragmentation and reassembly, all while keeping the groove alive.

When I dreamed up a new collection of experimental guitarists for 7d, Andre was my instant first pick. Could we get him involved? Would he make new recordings for us? Yes and yes! Even better – we got his whole back catalog, including (Yes!) ‘Normalized.’” – Trey Gunn

Andy Summers and Robert Fripp “The Complete Recordings 1981 – 1984” 3CD/1Blu-ray & “I Advance Masked” 2024 Mix 200gm vinyl Available March 28th, 2025

By glassonyonpr

Andy Summers and Robert Fripp “The Complete Recordings 1981 – 1984” 3CD/1Blu-ray & “I Advance Masked” 2024 Mix 200gm vinyl Available March 28th, 2025

Andy Summers and Robert Fripp “The Complete Recordings 1981 – 1984” 3CD/1 x Blu-ray

• 4-disc set of all the Summers/Fripp material on 3CD/1Blu-ray.
• CDs include the original albums ‘I Advance Masked’, ‘Bewitched’ and a 3rd album ‘Mother Hold the Candle Steady’ compiled from previously unreleased / unheard material newly mixed and assembled by David Singleton plus an alternative take of “Maquillage” and an early slower version of “Parade”
•Blu-ray includes:
Both original albums and the new 3rd album – newly mixed by David Singleton in 5.1 DTS-HD MA surround & 24/96 hi-res stereo
Both original albums – the original stereo mixes, newly mastered in 24/96 hi-res stereo
A ‘fly on the wall’ audio documentary – ‘Can We Record Tony?’ – taken from Robert Fripp’s own archive cassettes of the 2 guitarists’ original improvisations and conversations, also in 24/96 hi-res
• Presented in a 10-panel book-sized digi-sleeve with 16-page booklet including photos & sleeve-notes from new interviews with Andy Summers and Robert Fripp by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith.
• Plus a fascinating ‘Tale of the Tapes’ page by David Singleton on how / where the previously unreleased material was recently discovered / sourced.

“The most exquisite moments in music are when you connect with the other players, when you fly, when you touch the spirit and the audience is there with you.” – Andy Summers, One Train Later

Having crossed paths briefly in the ’60s in Bournemouth where Fripp took over Andy’s guitar chair in the band at Bournemouth’s Majestic Hotel, it wasn’t until 1981 – when Summers wrote to Fripp – that the two guitarists would work together.

With King Crimson fresh from recording the now classic album ‘Discipline’ after a considerable break, Fripp was immediate in his response to Summers’s suggestion of working together. And though The Police were busy with the recording and touring of ‘Ghost in the Machine’, the two guitarists somehow managed to find time to experiment, develop and record the first of their two albums.

Whilst “I Advance Masked” showcased the skill and differing guitar techniques of the two players with heavy influence of Fripp’s multi-rhythmic playing evident, their second 1984 album ‘Bewitched’ was a more melodic affair with the inclusion of additional personnel including bassist Chris Childs and Sara Lee, and as Fripp put it, “the album is a lot more Andrew than it is me”.

Almost 40 years later – during plans to reissue the original albums and searching for the original tapes – Summers came across four new tapes in a Los Angeles vault. Not only was most of the original material on those tapes, but a treasure trove of previously unreleased material, early versions, alternative versions of tracks were unearthed.

From that, eleven unreleased tracks were arranged/edited and newly mixed and, along with an alternative take of “Maquillage” and an early slower version of “Parade”, a third mini album titled ‘Mother Hold the Candle Steady’ was created. More previously unreleased tracks such as Balinese and Brainstorm and delights such as an early mix of New Marimba were also discovered by David Singleton in the process of collating and mixing this collection.

In addition, this package includes an audio documentary titled ‘Can We Record Tony?’ which is from a series of cassettes Fripp kept, containing their original exploratory improvisations.

Andy Summers and Robert Fripp “I Advance Masked” (2024 David Singleton Mix) 200gm vinyl

• 200-gram audiophile vinyl of Andy Summers and Robert Fripp’s 1982 album.
• New 2024 stereo mix by David Singleton
• Cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering
• Includes 2 previously unreleased tracks ‘Skyline’ and ‘Entropy Pulse’

With a very different sounding 1980s King Crimson lineup on tour and The Police’s status as one of the biggest acts in the world, it’s unsurprising that an album of guitar duets from Summers/Fripp – despite being as far apart from the concept of ‘guitar hero’ playing as possible to imagine, proved intriguing enough to spend several weeks in the US Billboard 200 charts.

On the multitrack tapes for both “I Advance Masked” and “Bewitched”, there were many unfinished tracks. With ‘Skyline’ and ‘Entropy Pulse’, Fripp (on ‘Skyline’) and Summers (on ‘Entropy Pulse’) had played numerous part-complete solos. According to Singleton, this left him “with the wonderful task, now very simple in a digital world, of making a coherent backing and then combining and switching between the various solos to create the “duets” that you now hear”.
