(No Pussyfooting) (Eng .: no excuses ) is an album recorded by musicians Robert Fripp and Brian Eno in 1973, which was released by Island Records that same year , shortly before the release of Eno's debut album Here Come the Warm Jets . The album was the first of three collaborations between the musicians and one of the first albums in the ambient field .

reception

(No Pussyfooting) was released in November 1973 and did not hit the charts in either the United States or England; the album was sold as a musical novelty at discount prices. Eno's management was concerned about potential audience confusion over the near-simultaneous release of their rock-oriented debut album, Here Come the Warm Jets. The album received little attention in the rock press. Robert Christgau rated the album in 1975 with a B +. He named the album

"The most enjoyable pop electronics since Terry Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air and that it was ... more visionary and more romantic than James Taylor could dream of being."

"The most enjoyable electronic pop since Terry Riley 's A Rainbow in Curved Air and that it ... more visionary and romantic than James Taylor could have imagined."

Ted Mills rated the album four and a half out of five stars on Allmusic, but was still critical of the album.

“With too many disconnected sounds sharing the space, some discordant, some melodic, the resulting work lacks form and structure. Eno and Fripp later refined the system on Evening Star and Eno's solo album Discreet Music. "

“With too many incoherent sounds sharing the space, some disharmonious, some melodic, the resulting work lacks form and structure. Eno and Fripp later refined the system on Evening Star and on Eno's solo album Discreet Music . "
