Two by two. Two machine musicians. Two tracks of twenty minutes of spontaneous compositions. Two periods of impressive sound research for one of the most important works of electronic experimentation ever made. This is how the artistic partnership between Robert Fripp and Brian Eno begins, two of the most enigmatic figures in rock music.

"No Pussyfooting" is the first in a series of collaborations that will bring incredible sound strategies and a radical change within rock music. Recorded at Eno's home in just one afternoon, this record sets a precedent for entire generations of sound experimenters and minimalists. The eclecticism of Fripp and his maniacal cynicism towards the instrument find the right complement with the introspective rigor of Eno. An unpredictable sequence of free solos that dodge each other in frenetic rounds, intertwine among the trajectories of Eno's manipulative synthesizers, modified, slowed down, filtered into a sound magma with abrasive tones, unconventional to the core. It is the birth of an evolved type of rock that intelligently revisits the avant-garde experience and puts it at the service of future electronics. A fundamental studio jam that, when it becomes aware of its own electronic mutations, self-destructs everything because it finds it useless.
