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.[6]
Production
Fripp was recorded for hours improvising on his guitar; Weston constructed these improvisations into working parts for the album.[3] 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."[7]
