More elegiac musings from a collaboration that grows richer with the years. But don't expect the ethereal musings of their cathedral recordings: Follow has a greater dynamic range than Thread or Live At Coventry Cathedral. There are less effects and muted tones than before, while on the ear splitting ‘So There’, Fripp spits spectacularly. But as the billing suggests, much of the colour and sonic impetus comes from Travis who makes this the most accessible and rawly emotional yet of the duo's releases. The tone is set by the aptly titled ‘Soaring and Gliding’ with Travis’ flute glistening above Fripp's barely sketched textures; but the atmosphere soon turns with ‘Dark Clouds’, and a mood of mourning and loss pervades much of what is to come. Most intriguing for Fripp nuts is ‘1979’, which is introduced by a gorgeous multitracked flute before segueing into layers of guitar and Frippertronics, originally recorded in 1979. This was the year of Exposure, when Frippertronics began to coalesce; that was the album with lyrics by Joanna Walton with whom Frippertronics began almost as a form of home entertainment for her and boyfriend Robert. Walton was to die above Lockerbie, but who knows where such threads take us.
