The Green Kingdom - Expanses / Remixes - the original Expanses album plus remixes from the likes of Hotel Neon, Warmth, Roel Funcken, etc. The original album was described by the artist as "my homage to classic ambient and ambient techno albums of the past, albeit passed through the filter of dusty samples from old vinyl and classical records, the odd guitar melody, electronics and some soft rhythmic pulses", if yer wondering how it sounds. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp.

{For those who came in late, there's a cohort of enophiles who speculate that Reflections was intended for both 45rpm and 33rpm.

Kind of like Swastika Girls / Heavenly Music Corporation but planned.]

The Expansions:
 
When first played on Radio One on John Peel's show, the album was taken from a reel to reel tape that had been stored 'tail out' (standard record company practice), but played as if it had been stored 'front out' (standard BBC practice) - the resulting broadcast was of the entire album played in reverse. Both Fripp and Eno (in separate locations) heard some of the broadcast. When Eno phoned the BBC to inform them that the music was being played in reverse, he was met with a "that's what they all say.." response. As this was how many people in the UK initially heard the album, the reverse version has been recreated for this release.
 
It was commonplace for young guitarists used the 16 and 2/3 setting on record players to play 33 and 1/3 rpm vinyl albums to slow down, practice and learn favoured guitar parts. King Crimson biographer Sid Smith mentioned that he and his friends applied the same principle to No Pussyfooting simply to hear how different it would sound and how impressed they were with the result. The half speed version of The Heavenly Music Corporation is featured as the other main expansion on the new edition.

Slow Meadow - Happy Occident -- An intricate mix of strings, electronics, and processed vocals.  Noice. Spotted on the Bandcamp "Best Ambient" lists, if yer into recommendations. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp.
