Robert Fripp - Exposures 2022 Box Set (2022)

Hace una semana el Mago Alberto había anunciado esto, que complementa con lo que trajo el Rafa Nori. El 27 de mayo de este año el enano maldito lanzó bajo su sello DGM un box set denominado "Exposures" con 25 cds, 3 DVDs de audio y 4 Blue Rays de audio y un soberano folleto de 48 páginas con textos y fotos inéditas, todo para el disfrute de algunos habitantes de este planeta. Hoy el Mago Alberto presenta una parte de este maravilloso box set finamente seleccionados para la comunidad cabezona. Y esta es mi última publicación antes de agarrar las maletas e irme de vacaciones donde nadie me encuentre, volveremos a vernos dentro de tres semanas con las pilas recargadas (o al menos eso espero!). Saludos para cada cabezón y cabezona, y no se olviden del blog cabeza.

Les dejo las palabras del Mago Alberto presentando esto:

Y como lo prometido es deuda, aca va para toda la comunidad cabezona una pequeña selección de "Exposures", el Box Set que presento Mr. Robert Fripp en este año 2022 ya próximo a llegar a su fin y digo pequeña porque esta edición totaliza mas de 68 horas de música a cargo de Robert Fripp, y algunos otros músicos desconocidos como Peter Hammill, Tony Levin, Brian Eno, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel Jerry Marotta.
Básicamente, acá hay de todo, los outtakes de "Exposure", rarezas, versiones en vivo,y como si esto fuera poco está la nueva version 2021 remixada por Steven Wilson, y ustedes saben perfectamente que sucede cuando el señor Wilson mete sus manitas, muchos detalles en las voces, en los planos de las guitarras de Fripp, la percusión en algunos casos es más profunda y en otros se nota una serie de matices sonoros que en las cuatro ediciones anteriores casi ni se escuchan.
Tambien pasaron por Wilson "God Save the Queen / Under Heavy Manners" y "The League Of Gentlemen" y ya con eso suena "suficiente", pero no, también está la 4ta versión de "Exposure" y una selección de algunas perlitas dentro de tantas horas de música, que por supuesto no posteamos todas, donde van a escuchar versiones en vivo, distintas versiones de "Exposure", una con flauta traversa y otra con saxo que los oídos agradecerán sobremanera, también hay una version de "Here Comes de Flood" y "Another Day" de Peter Gabriel extractadas de la presentación en video del especial de Navidad de Kate Bush, del año 1979 nunca editadas en CD. Un dato por demás curioso es que Progarchives califica este box set con 2 estrellitas, tipo "ni se moleste en escuchar esta porquería".
Así que no se pueden quejar, material especial para disfrutar en algún momento este fin de semana caluroso, por lo menos acá en Buenos Aires.

Mago Alberto
