No pussyfooting

cover of Fripp & Eno's “No Pussyfooting”

Scott Hansen turned up this quirky cover for Robert Fripp & Brian Eno’s excellently titled 1973 release, “No Pussyfooting” (a reference to the quick and spontaneous way the record was created). The music involved passing Robert Fripp’s electric guitar through an analogue tape loop developed by Eno, resulting in a deeply layered piece of what would later become known as ambient music. The visual concept of infinitely repeating mirrors perfectly illustrates the qualities of the music in a simple and striking way – design and art direction at it’s purest.
