En la pagina de The Dividing Line dice: "The folks over at DGMLive and the Slow Music Project have asked that we kindly remove last Saturday's archived show featuring Slow Music "Live At The Croc" due to legal and copyright issues. In the spirit of friendship and cooperation we were more than happy to oblige".

So if you are looking for it, you may order it online from a french e-shop as amazon.fr or fnac.com. You may listen to the first 5 songs from "Sidi Mansour" on Rimitti's web site: http://www.rimitti.com On this site you may also listen to her two last studio recordings. Regards, Stephane. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 18:01:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bazile Subject: CD Volume Two: EXPOSURE (3rd Edition only) CD Volume Two: EXPOSURE (3rd Edition only) Second edit 5/25/06 A long awaited wish came true with the release of the Hall vocals on this CD! The engineering/production makes a magical difference on every system of the house and both cars. Best production of early material to date IMHO! I never caught the "breath" at the opening of MARY before. Extremely clear and crisp! What a pristine CD! What a masterpiece that is oh so cool and refreshing for today standards and those of us set in the past. In fact it got MEZMORIZED and LOVE CANNOT BEAR, out of my CD changer. (Sorry haven't listened enough to GODSMACK IV to get it out- to busy listening to the above.) I have never heard many of these songs like this before, let alone the unreleased bonus tracks. Another wish was MARY done by Hall, it is Fripp and MOTOWN. Much of the CD is Fripp meets MOTOWN! Man this CD is soulful, rock, avant-garde, and heartfelt music! Listen to both version of MARY back to back and tell me you didn't well up. RCA was worried about Fripp ruining Halls career, and in hind site they where probably right. The way the industry lagged behind then, and how the industry toys and destroys now and then- they would have homogenized Hall and wore him out like a used hooker. Oh yeah, that's what they did. The stone(s) the builders rejected.... Fripp would have been an awesome football coach. How many times has he changed his being/playing to enhance other people's gifts? This 3rd edition is a classic example! And guess what- both artists grow, surprise, surprise. No wonder everybody wants to work with Fripp. No wonder David Sylvain claims the European tour was King Crimson, when clearly it wasn't (Dam--(aged) great music though.) No wonder former members of KC want to get back together, regroup into other projects. (Oh, BREATHLESS on this CD confirms-to me- it is King Crimson music -IMHO) No wonder Fripp continually exceeds expectations! I heard the original EXPOSURE when it was a gift at my bachelor party. I wore the cassette out during my honeymoon. What an omen my favorite artist and my wife's (Hall and Oates) together! And I had thought Robert was retired after RED! No Internet at this time. HERE COMES THE FLOOD and NORTH STAR became our songs. Well my wife hasn't liked anything by Fripp since (Not even SACRED SONGS), and I have them all! Then Exposure sung by Hall comes on and she asks me if I bought the new Hall and Oates CD? Maybe she will pick up fishing again too? Hay, all I can say is this is brand-spanking new music to me. EXPOSURE 3rd Edition exposes so many emotions that I guarantee goose bumps! Five Stars EZ!
