Written by JLAdams

This music, while great, shows that RF would not have been a very effective fusion guy (assuming that "fusion guy" was a title to which he would have aspired).

To me personally, I now understand why 81-84 Crim rarely goes six weeks without getting some play in my home, while Bruford’s One Of A Kind gets the once a year treatment, and the answer is most emphatically NOT that the latter is anything less than fantastic music performed by musicians who mean it.

The key difference, IMO, is originality. 81-84 KC has it to the extent that the music does not lend itself to categorization. BB’s work with Jeff Berlin, on the other hand, is fusion.

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

Studio-sweepings of Masters, and worth hearing in that sense, but one wonders if perhaps in the bad old days of Record Companies, the company would have either not released this, put it out as filler on a single (hence marginal Read more

The musician, the audience, and SPACE were the parents of the music   Wed., Jan 17, 2007

I was lucky enough to have heard about this performance on the day of its occurrence and took the train down after work. It seems I’m always hearing about these events the day after, but I got lucky this Read more

Tokyo Soundscape.   Wed., Jan 17, 2007
Posted by: Armand
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
Posted by: wildea
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

Darker but still Beautiful   Wed., Jan 10, 2007

The first DGMLive release of 2007 is a surefire winner - Robert Fripp’s opening Soundscapes performance for the band Porcupine Tree in Osaka, Japan on November 28th of last year. Despite this download being only a half-hour long, this Read more
