 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.

Time Stand Still   Fri., Feb 3, 2006

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 Read more

Really beautiful; I’m touched. This will most likely lead to further separation of me and my money. Well done, Robert! Read more

A cold beauty   Tue., Jan 24, 2006

First of all, this is an excellent website. Talk about impulse buying!  Downloading a FLAC file and a CD tray cover in a little under 3 minutes!  Needless to say, I ended up grabbing a few titles in about ten Read more
