 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.

I never heard of Theo Travis before until I heard this improv. This reminds me a bit of Tangerine Dream’s early work back before they became a full-on synth band. Very atmospheric and Read more

A fascinating little improv - nice to hear Robert playing with a flautist again and creating a rather moody and sombre piece that has bags of atmosphere and some tension.
Thanks for sharing this so soon after its Read more

The random aphorism on the page when I visited this Hot Tickle was: "Tomorrow" is the first lie of the Devil." This is quite pertinent as I think this little snippet sounds as if it could be lifted Read more

Tokyo Soundscape. Wed., Jan 17, 2007

The dark suspense continues in various ways. There are five pieces, but I hear it as one piece, without interlude. On the other hand, each piece is standing on its self, with its own unique power- and Read more

Breakthrough Mon., Jan 15, 2007

I find this to be one of Robert’s breakthroughs. It has feeling elements putting the best of Soundscapes with a level of soloing that is heart felt but dark. It is also more open that a transition has been Read more

Glorious. I found this to be a whole new soundscape experience. The darkness, the rhythms, that amzing held note in the fantasia section - all I could do was sit and soak it up as if (mixing metaphors) I’d discovered Read more
