''(No Pussyfooting)'' is a 1973 ambient music album by the British musicians Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. ''(No Pussyfooting)'' was the first of three major collaborations between the musicians, growing out of Eno's early tape recording loop experiments and Fripp's electric guitar playing. ''(No Pussyfooting)'' was recorded in three days over the course of a year. Its release was close to that of Eno's own debut solo album ''Here Come the Warm Jets'' (1974), and it constitutes one of his early experiments in ambient music. ==Production== Brian Eno invited Robert Fripp to his London home studio in September 1972. Eno was experimenting with a tape system developed by Terry Riley and Pauline Oliveros where two reel-to-reel tape recorders were set up side-by side. Sounds recorded on the first deck would be played back by the second deck, and then routed back into the first deck to create a long looping tape delay. Fripp played guitar over Eno's loops, while Eno selectively looped or recorded Fripp's guitar without looping it. The result is a dense, multi-layered piece of ambient music.〔Tamm, 1995. pp.151〕〔Tamm, 1995. pp.152〕 This technique later came to be known as "Frippertronics". ''(No Pussyfooting)'' 's first track, which fills one side, is a 21-minute piece titled "The Heavenly Music Corporation". Fripp originally wanted the track titled "The Transcendental Music Corporation", which Eno didn't allow as he feared it would make people "think they were serious".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Hit Parader )〕 It was recorded in two takes, first creating the background looping track, then adding an extended non-looped guitar solo over the backing track. This track features Fripp's electric guitar as the sole sound source.〔 The second track "Swastika Girls", which fills the other side, was recorded almost a year after "The Heavenly Music Corporation" in August 1973 at Command Studios at 201 Piccadilly in London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Command Studios - London )〕 The track employed the same technique as "The Heavenly Music Corporation" except Fripp played to a background electronic loop created by Eno on VCS3.〔Tamm, 1995. pg.154〕 Fripp and Eno took the tapes of "Swastika Girls" to British record producer George Martin's Air Studios at Oxford Circus to continue mixing and assembling the track there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Robert Fripp )〕 The track's title refers to an image of nude women performing a Nazi salute that was ripped from a discarded pornographic film magazine found by Eno at AIR studios. Eno stuck the image on the recording console while recording the track with Fripp and it became the title of the track. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「(No Pussyfooting)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
