Recorded in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, with Fripp's guitar processed through Eno's signature Frippertronics technique, the sessions captured something raw and immediate that studio polish could never replicate. The title track, famously inspired by a couple Visconti spotted kissing near the Wall, became one of rock's great anthems of defiance and longing, performed by Bowie at the 1987 Concert for Berlin to a crowd that could hear it on both sides of the divide.
