There are lots of bootleg copies of various Bruford/Levin drum and bass duets floating around out there. Some were recorded during various AWBH shows, some come from...elsewhere. Most of the MP3s I have of these duets are a little raw (i.e. cut off in the middle), but if you can find any, they're worth airing.

Also, if you can get hold of some of the Crimson Collector's Club material, there are good things galore in there. Two tracks spring to mind, both from the Thrak rehearsals, "Sad Woman Jam" and "Funky Jam."

It's also worth playing "The Talking Drum/LTAII" from B'Boom for Trey Gunn's absolutely breathtaking Warr guitar solo in the first track. Gorgeous, and when Fripp comes in with a stinging guitar lead, Gunn effortlessly downshifts and wraps his guitar around Fripp's in one of the most transcendant pieces of music I know of.

In fact, why not a Trey Gunn spotlight broadcast?

yes, B'BOOM in whole is an amazing album. I'll have to put that one on one of these days.

Unfortunately (and maybe fortunately), I've limited myself in format to whole albums. So, If I go for something like ABWH or one of the Collector's Club albums, I'm going all the way. Just an FYI, in case someone happens to tune in right in the middle of THRAKATTACK.
