Fripp & Eno - Evening Star (Evening Star, 1975)

&Star&is the second album by Fripp & Eno. Released in December 1975 it contains elements included on Eno’s seminal ambient album &Music&also released in the same month. &Music&was derived from loops that Eno created to accompany Robert Fripp’s guitar solos when the pair performed live, elements of which were also used on "Evening Star”. You can hear a short section of one of these loops the opening piece "Wind on Water.” The following title track features a Fripp solo that is regarded by fans as one of his most beautiful performances. "Evensong" and "Wind on Wind” formed the remainder of the album&first half. As if to balance the equation, the second side comprised a single piece "An Index of Metals". Running to almost 29 minutes it is almost the antithesis of the warm inviting music on the album&first half. #GuitarLoops
