Review by Joseph Mueller

The Brondesbury Road Tapes 1968 by Giles Giles & Fripp is a mesmerizing album that showcases the band's experimental and avant-garde approach to music. The album features a collection of previously unreleased recordings, capturing the band's early sound and style.

The album opens with the track "Under the Sky," a haunting and atmospheric piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs that follow are a mix of psychedelic rock, jazz, and folk, all infused with the band's signature sound.

The standout tracks on the album include "Erudite Eyes," a dreamy and hypnotic song that showcases the band's intricate instrumentation, and "Just George," a lively and upbeat track that features some impressive guitar work from Robert Fripp.

About Giles Giles & Fripp

Originally formed as a trio (Robert Fripp on guitar, Michael Giles on drums and vocals, and Peter Giles on bass and vocals) in Bournemouth, UK, in September 1967. Around June 1968, they were joined by Judy Dyble on vocals (only for about a month), and Ian McDonald on sax, keyboards and vocals. As a quintet they made several home recordings, including the later much-appraised I Talk To The Wind. In their time, Giles Giles and Fripp managed to release one full album and two singles, which didnt sell well yet were considered quite interesting by the then music press. Between November 1968 and January 1969, the remaining members (omitting Peter Giles) were joined by Greg Lake, and later by roadie Peter Sinfield, and changed their name to King Crimson.

"Hypocrite" is one of the most haunting psyche songs I have ever heard.

Well, I grew up with King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Caravan....... (Sorry if I'm forgetting your fave prog band) and I didn't knew this until recently, that's a real shame.... The only thing I knew was that some obscure band gave birth to King Crimson without the slightest idea of how they sound, it's simply great to hear. At least I didn't miss it and I'm not too old to appreciate!

It's spooky how Syd Barrett'ish this is.

キングクリムゾンの母体となった　グループの曲　特に目立った特徴はないのに、グレッグ・レイクとイアン・マクドナルドが加わると　あの化物のような　アルバムが生まれるのだから
人生とは　不思議なものである。

I would love to know who played flute on these! Their solo on the alternate take of "Digging My Lawn (B)" is particularly wonderful

Fripp sounded very Canterbury at this point of his career.

Rest peacefully and softly now, Ms. Dyble, under the sky...there's a tear in my eye.

McDonald & Giles I bought in mid 70's and new nothing about their connections to my later favorites. British invasion and thanks for bringing our blues back as well

God I've loved this album for so long. I never get tired of it.

This sound architecture is more than a reflection of an era. It’s a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A stupendous wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the infinity. This sound architecture is a translucid and short tunnel that leads to light ?

It's fantastic that this recording is still here since it's owned by UMG nowadays. This record dissaperd from Spotify a couple of years ago together with some other records with other artists, today owned by UMG...

The first few songs sound like Syd Barrett singing to King Crimson with lyrics by The Shaggs.

What a pleasant change is to hear such a beautiful female voice singing over this (now) proto-crimson music! It never ocurred to me that despite the various singers that have worked with Fripp in KC, none of them were women, all of this despite of he having a singer as a wife!
