  From a fly on the wall May 10, 2007
Written by DavidCooke
This is a very welcome introduction to the LCG, as if the group were sharing their music-making as frankly as possible with us craftless listeners. Each of the three takes of House Symmetrical has its own identity. Subjectively, I found that the second take has the greatest impact; the musicians had the groove and were attacking it with redoubled commitment. The third sounds slightly more relaxed. The C major circulation comes as a relief after that worrying symmetrical scale. Are circulations always as serene as this? From a listener’s viewpoint, they seem to have the virtue of freedom from self-expression. The music can speak for itself as the ’player’ is the whole group rather than any individual. I’d wish the LCG5 spectacular success, if it wasn’t for that contract... as Groucho Marx said in A Night at the Opera, "As long he doesn’t sing too often, he can just break even".

Unable to arrive together with my brother I had to make a considerable personal effort to arrive I hoped in time to enjoy RF’s performance. This of course just emulates, since 1973’s THMC, the same commitment to follow Read more

I definitely love this show and recommend it to all admirers of Mr Fripp’s soundscapes. Although at first glance, the overall mood of this music would suggest “grief”, after careful listening there would be a new feeling on your horizon Read more

Having carefully watched Mr. Fripp "create" his soundscapes on numerous occasions, I finally may have hit upon the secret of his craft... I believe he has wired some kind of transducer upon his person which communicates directly Read more
