  • Western Carolinian February 17, 1994 Features 9 WW for Sylvian & Fripp's Secret Dave Williams StaffReporter What do you get when you combine vocalist/keyboardist David Sylvian ofJapan with guitar wizard Robert Fripp of King Crimson ? You get this album, a winner from the word "Go." Sylvian collaborated with avant-garde guitarist David Tom. The result was "Secrets From The Beehive," one of the best albums of 1990. Robert Fripp, on the other hand has worked with U2 producer Brian Eno (check out "No Pussyfooting" and "Evening Star") as well as Police guitarist Andy Summers ("I Advance Masked"). Together, along with help from co-producer David Bottrill, drummer Jerry Marotta and stick player Trey Gunn, they forge a musical path somewhere between dance music, new age and progressive music of old (try King Crimson's "Discipline"). The disc starts out with two four-minute art-pop tunes by Sylvian; "God's Monkey" and "Jean The Birdman." These tunes avoid being free of cliches; Sylvian's baritone voice is a cross between Jim Morrison of The Doors and Brian Ferry of Roxy Music. The music is tight - danceable! - with Fripp's menacing guitar in the background. The third track, and, for that matter, the rest of the disc is Fripp's show. "Firepower" is ten and a half minutes of the right stuff; a slow groove fueled by Gunn & Marotta, Sylvian & Bottrill's digital synths for texture, and then there's Fripp coming in with a long piercing solo, low notes rich with sustain-fluid and melodic. The next track, "Brightness Falls," nudges somewhere between Eno-ish "found sound" and Fishbone on too many valiums- -slowandfunlcymet^licguitardancemusicl^orefallmgmto (a system of tape loops which Fripp devised for his guitar). "20th Century Dreaming (a shaman's song)" is another Fripp guitar-potpourri. This time the beat's polyrythmic, anchored by Gunn's Chapman Stick and Marotta's off-beat snare accents. Fripp fires off a solo as the tempo accelerates while the synthesizer and Frippertronic textures predominate, producing an aural soundscape that is both house- music and new age (Yanni, are you listening?). Throughout the eleven-minute opus bits of dialogue come floating in and out of the mix resulting in a very mellow assault on the senses. Sylvian and Fripp up the house-music ante on "Darshan (the road to graceland)" which, at first, seems to be a funk-riff stretched at just over seventeen minutes. Next thing you know you're up dancing (for girls) or sitting there tapping your feet (for guys). All of Ws would be kinda wimpy if it wasn't for the solos and fills that Fripp throws in at various Nervals. Why this isn't being played at raves and discos is beyond me. Beats for your feet and guitar for your guts. Yin and yang. This is right up there with the best Funkadelic in ^ sense that it makes you wanna move and think at the same time. The last track, "Bringing Down The Light," is eight minutes of Frippertronics against a synthetic backdrop. Fripp was making this kind of music back in 1972-73 and again in ^ late-70's with the albums "God Save The Queen" and "Exposure." Those albums founded very futuristic and spacey. It appears that Fripp (along with Eno, Harold Budd, tangerine Dream and Michael Hoenig) was at least seven years ahead of everyone else. , IfoundthisdiscatTheMusicBoxinWaynesville. Itwas placed in the "College Music tive, it has plenty of Fripp guitar jam. It has a good beat, and it's easy to dance to (as they ^tosayon-American Bandstand"). Party Music for the Future. The only thing missing * Yo"- Coming up Next Week (hopefully): A Musical Black History lesson wtth Charles tnm and Thelonius Monk. Stay tuned.
