Overall this Soundscapes performance is the most seamless I have listened to. The musical thoughts and emotions move in and through seemingly on a path of intention. Beautiful, enrapturing, transporting music.

The Starless melody in this context or in its original setting is where words fail. As Elvis Costello said, "writing about music is like dancing about architecture."

But saying it as best I can, the Starless melody is an especially articulate and long-resonating sentence, in a language made of emotion, time, number and audible vibration, and it retains all that in a Soundscape performance.

There’s not much else I can say that other reviewers haven’t said, or that the music itself doesn’t say better.

Thanks

Again, the Question   Tue., Dec 5, 2006
Posted by: BillKent
What is most marvelous, and valid, about Mr. Fripp’s Soundscapes is that they contain within them an inquiry into how it is possible to make music, given the time, place, audience expectations, performer’s expectations and other factors leading Read more

Peaceful and Beautiful.   Tue., Nov 28, 2006
Posted by: LouieB
Once again, Robert Fripp fails to disapoint with the latest live download entitled "Evensong". Drawn from two concerts performed during Fripp’s Soundscapes tour in Estonia, the three pieces that make up this set are some of the most gentle and Read more

The Sound of Bells Gently Chiming   Mon., Nov 27, 2006
Posted by: ScottM
Does this music mostly settle into a mimicry of bells gently chiming on a quiet afternoon?  Yes.  Do I like the sound of bells gently chiming?  Yes.  Is the music reminiscent of the first two Fripp and Eno Read more

It really is that good   Sun., Nov 26, 2006
Posted by: millingt
This is a hard performance to describe, it must be heard to understood. The initial Part I wanders a bit, but from Part II- the entire second set, the soundscapes come like waves of color and emotion that cannot really Read more

magic   Sat., Nov 25, 2006
Posted by: rfwhitman
This is sublime music. The muse was present. I can’t think of a more essential performance in the soundscape mode. In terms of musicality here is a live improvisational performance that stands with "composed" electronic orchestral space Read more
