 A Classic. December 9, 2008
Ted Maul (Cowsick)
Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, both pioneers of slightly left-of-centre music in the 1970s, collaborated on this in 1973. All it consists of, in layman's terms, is Fripp playing guitar and Eno manipulating the tapes. It, along with the slightly less fashionable Tangerine Dream's Phaedra, is one of the major ambient releases of the 70s, and paved the way for Eno to record classics like Ambient 1: Music for Airports and the especially beautiful Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. This particular reissue is extended to a second disc,and contains slightly different versions of the two tracks (Heavenly Music Corporation & Swastika Girls)that made up the original album.An exemplary remaster provides excellent sound for what was essentially a low-fi recording. One slight negative though-no sleevenotes. It would have been nice to hear Fripp & Eno's perspective on this 35 years on. Essential nonetheless.

This is one of the most awful albums I ever heard.
It all seems a joke. Probably is a masterpiece for toilette ambience or a sound experience in North Polo.
I like most of Robert Fripp guitar playing and Brian Eno works but this is too much for me... I just don't see nothing more then boring continuing horrible sustaining sounds.
 A sublime experience...there's an x factor here that cant be missed. October 30, 2008

This album is groundbreaking on many levels. This is mainly down to the first "track", the heavenly music corporation, which is almost palimpsest-like, in that the reverse and slow speed incarnations are both here (there are explainations given as to why..chortle away at the history), and its the same piece of music...yet it sounds different enough to warrant inclusion.
Being a composer/producer, I noticed a sizeable difference in the audio quality of this master compared to the previous incarnation of the album. Everything is crisper, and more punchier, WITHOUT losing the ambient remit which this album perhaps inadvertantly ended up setting (eno's truer ambient works started later). Swastika girls is more raucous and simmery/ glittery depending on your auditory/ kinasthetic disposition, and quite a volte-face to the first "track". It still works well, but isnt so immediately accessible. There's more trickery here, and obvious overdubs, compared to the first, which was just the dual revox and pedalboard set-up.
24 bit mastering, coupled with lots of extra tracks, track markers/indents to make it easy to get to your faveourite parts, crisp repackaging...every boy needs this album. Especially if your an affecianado of electronica AND guitarwork.
Classless, if no longer peerless.

I agree with much that has been said about the excellence of this album but surely Amazon have scored 1 star agian for lumping all the old reviews for the original CD version of this album into the page for this new version. I looked this up to try to get a handle on the "reversed" and "half speed" versions that are included in this 2 CD edition. Sadly there does not seem to be any.
To my ears the half speed version of Heavenly Music Corporation is very heavy and dense. You will not want to play this on anything that can not cope with very deep bass sounds. The reversed Swatsika Girls version sounds very similar to the forwards version. Great stuff
Groundbreaking ambient guitar soundscape record January 18, 2007
The Ambient Housewife (Sussex, UK)

Eno and Fripp developed a tape loop feedback system to apply to the guitar work of Robert Fripp. This recording shows the system off to its maximum potential and consists of two long tracks that explore a soundscape entirely invented by their unique musical talents. Swooping guitar sounds combine with synthesised textures in what can sometimes begin to feel very dense. There is a lot of detail in the treatments as well and these maintain the listeners interest. Despite the age of the record it does bear repeated listenings and my copy gets a regular airing at home. An essential Fripp & Eno recording and one of the better examples of Fripp's work.
