-
In
1975
with
King
Crimson
on
hiatus
(as
it
would
remain
until
1980),
Robert
Fripp's
appearances
on
album
or
on
stage
were
rare.
When
he
did
appear,
it
was
with
Brian
Eno.
Circumstances
following
an
accident
in
january
1975
led
to
Eno
formulating
the
idea
of
ambient
music
as
detailed
in
the
notes
to
'discreet
music'
-
released
in
december
1975.
The
title
track
of
'Discreet
Music',
was
initially
conceived
as
a
backing
loop
for
fripp
to
play
over
at
a
series
of
concerts.
these
concerts
took
place
in
Spain,
France
and
England
in
late
May
1975.
A
short
section
of
one
of
these
concerts
provided
the
basic
track
for
'Wind
on
Water'
-
the
opening
piece
from
the
second
Fripp
and
Eno
album
'Evening
Star'.
The
title
track
that
follows
features
a
Fripp
solo
that
is
regarded
by
fans
as
one
of
his
most
beautiful
performances.
The
short,
pretty
loop
called
'Evensong'
and
'Wind
on
Wind'
an
extract
from
'Discreet
Music'
formed
the
remainder
of
the
album's
first
half.
Perhaps
more
pastoral
than
truly
ambient,
and
in
part
indicative
of
the
type
of
music
that
Eno
would
feature
on
his
later
'Music
for
Films'
albums
this
was
a
firm
step
away
from
the
long
form
pieces
that
had
made
up
'No
Pussyfooting'.
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's
first
half.
over
thirty
years
on
from
its
original
recording,
the
sense
of
unease
conveyed
by
the
piece
remains
intact.LP
