There is something different in this set of Soundscapes from Nagoya. Something quite different than in the following shows from Osaka and Tokyo. Even the preceding Churchscapes. Probably it is the mournful tone of Time Stands Still so close in mood to that of A Blessing Of Tears album. The beautiful guitar motive, placed at the end in the counterpoint brings this kind of emotions once again to my mind. Where do they come from in a strictly technical process of creating music on stage? Perhaps music is already emotional and both artist and listener are taking part in their recognition. Perhaps it is the matter of musical scales used by RF at a particular performance. Or something completely non musical, more divine, difficult to explain. The uneasiness of Final Bell Threshold brings associations with WTC performances. While Evensong from Osaka and Coda of Time Stands Still from Tokyo are peaceful and almost silent in their Moonchild  like guitar tones.

It’s hard for me to imagine booing this music. This is sublime Soundscaping. Repeated listenings have revealed a beauty that is ineffable. Read more

One of the many pleasures of this site is finally hearing the 1980s Frippertronics concerts: we had bought GSTQ, UHM and heard the loops & read that there were solos over Read more

Last show? Miniature perfect   Sat., Mar 9, 2013

This is the last soundscape available, and for that reason (mainly) I bought it. It would make sense to have these three Japan shows available as a set: they are relatively short compared to some other ones that are Read more

Thanks, very interesting and informative. Yes, musically these pieces posses the same stagnant and cold atmosphere later found on November Suite album. Nice to hear clear choral sounds again, almost completely abandoned by Fripp with some exceptions over last few Read more

Lots of fun   Tue., Aug 28, 2012
Posted by: kalka2
Using a palette similar to November Suite, RF creates a set of 4 Soundscapes. Each one is different, and each one is worth hearing. In most cases, one can even hear the unamplified "pluck" of the guitar string before the Read more

Afternoon or evening set?   Tue., May 8, 2012
Posted by: fhc339835
This is an excellent soundscape recording, one of the best so far in total, and the best of this certain period around the millenium. The liner notes indicate that on this day two sets have been performed by Robert, the current Read more

A great day and a watershed for me finally beginning to understand how much influence the audience has upon the performer, in sense of behaviour and respect for the artist. with the church adorned in John Miller pictures and the beauty of St Peters Church, Read more
