Almost 30 years on since Evening Star, Robert Fripp and Brian Eno resume their collaboration, and remarkably, they seem to have picked up right where they left off. Remarkably, because Fripp's more recent soundscaping has had a different quality than either his collaborations with Eno or his proper "Frippertronics" albums like Let the Power Fall or the solo side of God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners. Surely they're not back to using the old Revox tape machine setup, but having Eno in the producer's chair (not to mention making his own musical contributions) seems to add a warmth that's been missing from albums like 1999.

But much like Evening Star showed a progression from No Pussyfooting, The Equatorial Stars is another step forward while retaining all the same elements as their previous work together…
Initial two CD pressing , with one disc running continuously while the other will have individual tracks. Subsequent pressings will contain one disc with tracks running individually. 2007 collection of previously unreleased works of startling genius! Music composed and performed by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. Fans know that the duo has been one of the most innovative and intriguing, not to mention ground-breaking, musical partnerships of the last thirty years, beginning with their first release of No Pussyfooting, to the more recent Equatorial Stars.
