Our Take

Prepare to be taken on a cosmic journey like no other with the latest collaborative effort from ambient legends Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, Equatorial Stars.

From the very first track, it's clear that Fripp and Eno are masters of their craft, seamlessly blending shimmering guitar melodies with ethereal electronic textures to create a sound that is at once otherworldly and deeply grounded.

The album's title track, "Equatorial Stars," is a standout moment, with its pulsing rhythms and haunting atmospherics transporting the listener to a distant, unknown planet.

On "Mombasa," Fripp's intricate guitar work weaves in and out of Eno's atmospheric synths, creating a sense of tension and release that is truly mesmerizing.

Throughout the album, Fripp and Eno demonstrate a remarkable chemistry, effortlessly playing off each other's strengths to create a sonic landscape that is both familiar and alien.

Equatorial Stars is a must-listen for fans of ambient music, with its ethereal soundscapes and intricate instrumentation sure to captivate even the most jaded of listeners. So strap in, turn up the volume, and let Fripp and Eno take you on a journey to the stars.

About the artist

Fripp & Eno

Fripp & Eno: A Dynamic Duo of Experimental Excellence If there's one thing that can be said about the iconic pairing of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, it's that their musical collaboration knows no bounds. These two legends of the avant-garde have been pushing the boundaries of sound for decades, creating a sonic landscape that is as vast and unpredictable as the universe itself. Fripp, the virtuosic guitarist known for his work with prog-rock pioneers King Crimson, and Eno, the master of ambient electronica, first joined forces in the mid-1970s to create a series of groundbreaking albums that would forever change the course of music history. Their first collaboration, "No Pussyfooting," released in 1973, introduced the world to their unique blend of experimental guitar loops and otherworldly synths. The album was met with critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone declaring it a "sonic masterpiece that defies categorization." Since then, Fripp & Eno have continued to push the boundaries of what is possible in music, releasing a string of influential albums such as "Evening Star" and "The Equatorial Stars." Their ability to seamlessly blend Fripp's intricate guitar work with Eno's ethereal soundscapes has solidified their status as one of the most innovative duos in modern music. Whether you're a longtime fan of Fripp & Eno or just discovering their music for the first time, one thing is for certain: their artistry knows no bounds. So sit back, relax, and let the sounds of Fripp & Eno take you on a journey through the outer reaches of the musical cosmos.
