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 a very nice version of Hope.  The Bridge Between is one of my favorite records and this piece is a wonderful example of what Trey Gunn brought to the mix that eventually became the Double Trio version Read more

The name of the venue where the soundscape was recorded is the PNC Bank Arts Center, in Holmdel, NJ. I was fortunate to attend the show, and submitted a review to ET. Read more

Abstract   Thu., Jul 15, 2010
Posted by: chess_and_science
The music of Fripp is rather known by me. His style is very abstract and does not make music. To my opinion, experimentation is the bridge between silence and music. I think in my humble opinion that Fripp is only sitting Read more

It was an excerpt from this recording - I believe released by RF in the wake of 9/11 - that awakened me to the power of soundscapes. Over the years since I downloaded the full performance, it has proven unfailing Read more

The are some noticeable changes in this performance comparing to the previous show in New York. Music seems to be more spacious and open as if artist was in search of the new Read more

Sadness has his own intent.   Mon., Feb 8, 2010

There are more waves with a sorrowful timbre than usual in other soundscapes, and that makes this download so beautiful. The soundquality is also very good, and the little disturbance on some places is not irritant at Read more

Very good indeed   Tue., Feb 2, 2010

I’ll second Mr Flaherty’s comments on the sound. The most noticeable distortion is on the most violent sections of the music towards the end and to me it actually adds Read more

In a recent piece for DGM, I mentioned how wonderful this particular evening of soundscapes was.  I am, of course, delighted to see this same performance become available. In honesty, I actually expected, after 12 years, to be Read more
