It's a good record that suffers from impossible expectations based on its creators. Certain records are only possible at certain times- No Pussyfooting is one.

Oddly, I've always has trouble with No Pussyfooting. I'm not going to suggest TES is the more groundbreaking release or anything ... but Fripp's pedal point rhapsodizing doesn't really do it for me, as much as I love him. I much prefer Let the Power Fall when I want to hear the pre-Soundscapes/analog versions of this stuff.
Despite the fact that TES is every bit as modal, there's something really...nice and peaceful about his playing on this. Eno seems to really bring it out in him.

I don't have any problems at all with No Pussyfooting, but RF's output between the end of his sabbatical and Discipline is way underrated.
