  I’d love to have two copies of this. First, I’d love one "clean" copy for my students,  for in terms of recorded poetry readings, it’s well done; it really captures the feeling of the poems  (Yes, the music helps, but the reading style by itself makes it work). You have to think Hardy would have liked the reading. Alas, I’m not brave enough to endure the backlash of parents, so an edited copy would have to do....

The other copy is this version, the full version: that persona Fripp assumes is hilarious. Then again, knowing what little I know of Hardy, he might have enjoyed the full version, too.

Question: Did Robert Fripp chose the poems, or were the poems chosen for him? Just curious....

Another wonderful set of Frippertronics !  Thank you Mr. Mundy ! Loop III is an incredible piece of music and (in my humble opinion) the highlight of the set.  Robert’s solo over top of the Test Loop does remind one of his Read more

This is definitely my favourite period of Soundscapes. And although some prefer the latest Churchscapes as more accessible and true, there is something positive about them as they lack those moving and dark timbres and emotions of That Read more
