 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars4 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 starsGood, maybe even great, but not my thing   July 1, 2009
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.

on Schizoid Fantasia   Thu., Jan 4, 2007

Speaking in terms of emotion... to me the piece evokes a sense of successive revealments and discoveries... brighter but pensive melodic threads on an ominous backdrop of dark, bass colors and minor interval Read more

a very organic Scape   Thu., Jan 4, 2007

I’m amazed how much territory is covered in this thirty minutes; from the soaring ambient belltones to the warmth of the Evensong. After one listening this has moved to my top Read more

I attended the Boston show and it was a very lifting experience. Robert Fripp was greeting people as they were entering to hall. I remember the music continued for over five minutes after they left the Read more

I think this is one of most beautiful Fripp music I ever heard. In a couple of years, maybe a little bit less or more, Uncle Bob changed way. It has not been a forced "decision" but a natural way Read more

Soon to be on CD?   Wed., Dec 13, 2006
Posted by: lotusm50
Will this be released on CD (or any form other than download)?  I’d buy this in a second, but I don’t download music (too easy to lose, CD-R’s have very limited longevity, and most reasonably permanent/secure storage options are expensive, Read more

I brought MY Slinky Minx Nora to this show. He made her blush reading some steamy "Savage Love" letters at set break. She is one the many lady/women there that night, there to witness me in Read more

Robert Fripp continues to astound us. His soundscapes are one of the rare and excellent examples of how true music "might enter our sorry world" nowadays. One could learn a lot dealing with this mixture of Read more
