 Time Stand Still February 3, 2006
Written by mflaherty
The performance at Wolverhampton is, I believe, among the best titles from Robert Fripp’s December Suite. In particular, this version of "Time Stands Still" is very moving, perhaps the best version available of this piece. The rest of the concert continues a high standard, making this selection a particularly good choice for the soundscape collector. However, with this many versions of the same work being available, recommendations of a single night from this tour become almost impossible. While Wolverhampton contains my favorite "Time Stands Still", Ely’s "Queer Jazz" and the Shepherds Bush version of "At the End of Time" stand out. My feeling is that for recent soundscapes the longer All Saints show from January 2006 is a good starting place. If that show leaves you wanting more, this is as good of a place to start as any.

This is jaw-dropping, astonishing music. It’s not at all easy listening, especially the first two tracks. In terms of sheer density, 1999 is about perhaps the most similar Soundscape recording. But this is far more varied and multicolored than Read more

Moments. I still remember popping this in the CD console driving home from the store along a canopy road in the early summertime. As the music began to swirl up around me, so too did a large summer thunderstorm Read more
