FFWD

FFWD is an eponymous album by FFWD – Robert Fripp, Thomas Fehlmann, Kris Weston, and Dr Alex Paterson.

The title is also a play on the abbreviation often used on the fast forward control of a tape deck or CD player, also referenced in the "double-arrow" graphic used on the cover.

The album peaked at #48 in the UK Albums Chart in August 1994.

Production
Fripp was recorded for hours improvising on his guitar; Weston constructed these improvisations into working parts for the album. Paterson and Fehlmann had no production input in this.

Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "the modular systems-sounds of FFWD are neither danceable nor dreamable."
