-
In
August
1972
King
Crimson
guitarist
Robert
Fripp
was
producing
some
material
for
Robert
Wyatt.
Brian
Eno
-
then
a
member
of
Roxy
Music,
came
to
the
studio
to
add
synth
to
the
same
sessions.
Fripp
and
Eno
found
common
cause.
The
21
minutes
piece
of
music
that
resulted,
'The
Heavenly
Music
Corporation'
became
one
of
the
most
significant
and
influential
pieces
of
electronic
music
ever
recorded.
The
other
track
on
the
album
'Swastika
Girls'
was
not
recorded
until
over
a
year
later
in
august
1973
-
the
track
title
inspired
by
a
picture
of
girls
wearing
a
swastika
and
little
else
that
was
pinned
to
the
console.
Also
pinned
to
the
console
was
a
piece
of
paper
with
the
words
'No
Pussyfooting'
-
Fripp's
reminder
to
both
musicians
that
they
should
not
compromise
what
they
felt
to
be
right
or
be
deterred
by
the
hostility
to
the
project
shown
by
management
and
record
label
alike.
(there
was
talk
of
Fripp
leading
Eno
into
'un-commercial
territory').
The
album
was
released
in
November
1973
and
went
on
to
sell
over
100,000
copies.
It
was
a
unique
achievement
at
the
time
was
to
place
an
album
of
experimental
electronic
music
into
the
hands,
homes
and
ears
of
100,000
rock
music
fans.LP
