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.

With just two albums recorded at various point over a four year period, Fripp & Eno had established a rudimentary route map of some of music's future possibilities. That they still sound so fresh and alive with potential is testament to the strength of the duo's original ideas. Fripp & Eno would, individually and collectively, make significant recordings of electronic music in the coming decades, but many, many others would participate in the vast expansion of interest in electronic music that followed.

As starter points for a vast number of musicians, these albums are unparalleled, their influence only beginning to be fully understood and appreciated. Brian Eno is credited with the claim that everyone who originally bought a Velvet Underground album subsequently formed a band. It's no less valid to suggest that many of those involved in electronic music might not have been but for 'No Pussyfooting' and 'Evening Star'.

As with 'No Pussyfooting', it has been re-mastered using the original master tapes by Simon Heyworth, overseen by Robert Fripp.
