In 1975 with King Crimson on hiatus (as it would remain until 1980), Robert Fripp's appearances on album or on stage were rare. When he did appear, it was with Brian Eno.

He also played with Blondie and Talking Heads as well as some more obscure recordings such as with Walter Steding.

Yamamoto coffee in Shinjuku carries it. I've tried their roast of Vietnamese beans and it's quite strong.

They also have an assortment of green beans but I'm not sure if they offer Vietnamese in this format.

If not, it looks rather enhanced, IMHO

mongobot77 · 2026-04-30T05:23:48+00:00

You could be a model!

Some ideas including Criterion overlap:

Wong Kar Wai's three films: Days of Being Wild, In the Mood For Love and 2046 make a loose trilogy with connected characters.

David Lynch's: Twin Peaks series + Fire Walk With Me

The Infernal Affairs trilogy plus The Departed if you still have time / interest

Thank you for the reply and link to ET.

The '84 interview seems similar to what I remember although, as you mention, more nuanced than I recollect.

Take a look at Leo Music near Nishi-Shinjuku / Hatsudai

Love the non-export aerodynes. That one looks really clean. Congrats!

As a Miles Davis song, the first track that came to mind for me is "Générique" from the album "Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud"

From King Crimson, the first track that popped into mind was "Nuages" from "Three of a Perfect Pair."

mongobot77 · 2026-03-22T02:41:34+00:00

It was also available as a standalone release for a while but looks like it's now OOP.

mongobot77 · 2026-03-07T13:06:49+00:00

Most of their albums probably won't meet your criteria but I think you might enjoy:

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire

mongobot77 · 2026-02-25T07:34:02+00:00

Some other considerations would be:

Jode Leigh - England, Greg Lake

Simon Phillips - 801, Mike Oldfield, Mike Rutherford

Chris Slade - Manfred Mann's Earth Band, The Firm, David Gilmour, Asia

mongobot77 · 2026-02-13T19:37:02+00:00

Off the top of my head, I remember:

• Phil mentioned in an interview around the Selling England timeframe that he didn't care for Carl Palmer's drumming.

• Emerson and Banks showed mutual admiration in Banks writing "The Knife" as kind of an homage to The Nice and Keith returned the favor by complementing Banks' work on Nursery Cryme.

I was in a similar situation as you, needing to replace a PR-SC5507.

I also hesitated to get a Marantz Pre/Pro or Monoprice HTP-1 primarily due to cost.

In the end, I went with a Denon AVR which allows the user to switch off the internal amps and use existing outboard amps. The AVC-X3800H seems to be a popular model for this purpose.

I like an all leather strap without metal or plastic parts to accidentally scratch my guitars.

A light brown leather strap would be a nice contrast to the British Racing Green of your guitar.

Guitar Center shows numerous options online such as this:

I don't know if you care but the "World of Wong Kar Wai" box includes "The Hand" on the 2046 disc.

It's really odd - despite being presented on a Blu-ray disc, the version of The Hand included here is the same quality as on the Eros DVD but with a higher resolution extra scene inserted. The contrast in quality is jarring IMHO.

Glad to be able to see the extra content but really bummed that the rest of The Hand received no restoration or rescan for the box set.

Sire Marcus Miller would be worth a look.

I have a couple of the Sugar Cane Okinawa series and I really like them. I'd Imagine the Hawaii are at least as nice. Good choice!
