By Brian Eno, off his first album, Here Come the Warm Jets. If Brian Eno is reading this or hears my version, and has objection, I'd ask him to remember this is meant as sincere flattery – this is a song I've always liked and wanted to record for some time.
The original, of course, has Robert Fripp doing an a three-minute amazing guitar solo on it. My solo is neither three minutes long, nor amazing, but I hope that it gets some of the flavor of the original, and the backing, I hope, also gets a little of the feel, though it's far from being a note-for-note cover.
Two Indy RAIL lap steels (including the Fripp-y solo), a traditional six string plinking in the background to the solo, a sampled HALion piano, Fender bass, EZdrummer drums, with lots of Liquid Mix compression and EQ to give them "that" sound, a virtual MS-20 synth, and shakers and woodblocks (plus vocals, of course). Lexicon and TC Electronics reverbs.
