"In August, after finishing work on Earthbound, Fripp returned to the producer's chair last time [in 1972] to work with Matching Mole at CBS' London studios in Whitfield Street."

"Brian Eno, then still in Roxy Music was invited by [Matching Mole bassist] MacCormick to add VCS3 synthesiser. "We'd played a gig with Roxy in Liverpool where they'd supported us so I had met Brian Eno and we got on, and so I thought it might be interesting to see what Brian might come up with. I told him what we were looking for, he came into Studio 2, did a few things which Fripp loved and it seemed to work.""

"Importantly, the album spawned a significant new friendship between Fripp and Eno. Although they had previously met at the EG offices, the album put them together in a working context for the first time. Just ten days after Eno completed his overdubs on Gloria Gloom, Fripp entered the living room of Eno's Maida Vale flat and plugged his Les Paul into Eno's Revox tape machine to record layers of inspired rhapsodic guitar that would later become the first side of Fripp and Eno's groundbreaking No Pussyfooting."

“Like so many of you I’ve got my doubts about how much to contribute To the already rich among us... How long can I pretend that music’s more relevant Than fighting for a socialist world?” – Matching Mole, Gloria Gloom

"On the live take, [Matching Mole guitarist Phil Miller] fluffed a few notes so basically he got left to try and put his guitar parts as an overdub... across the corridor was the orchestral studio, which was huge. The abiding image I have of this was poor old Phil, who of course was rather in awe of Fripp, which I suppose most guitarists in those days would've been, on his own in the middle of this enormous studio while we all stared at him from the control room as he tried to play his part. Of course it just got to him. That's why the track Flora Fidgit has no guitar part on it because eventually it got to the point where we just couldn't put him through it anymore."

"As I recall it, I think we just decided things were getting too unhappy for words and it was about the one point in the process where it really didn't work having Fripp in the studio because, whether he meant to or not, he intimidated Phil. It didn't make any difference to me because I never liked King Crimson anyway, but if you were a guitar player of any ilk you knew Fripp was probably capable of doing things with a guitar that nobody else in the country could do."
