 Time Stand Still February 3, 2006
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.

"fleeting smears of notes ..." an apt and evocative description from the webmaster.
Id have to agree that the second piece is a real stellar standout. Sublime and scintillating.

This is quite beautiful. Fripps’ reading is excellent and the musical accompaniment is perfect for these lovely gray, sad poems. I find Fripps’ profane in between poem banter to be really Read more

Many times listening to Soundscapes I had deep associations with the Renaissance music (especially Franco-Flemish composer I have recently heard, Guillame Dufay). Not only because of the sacral character of his music, but also in terms of polyphonically constructed compositions Read more

I originally bought Robert Fripp’s "November Suite" when it was first released in 1997. Out of all the Soundscape CD’s that Fripp released during that time (1994-1998), this still ranks as my all-time Read more

A must. Sat., Dec 29, 2007

Incredibly moving, fairly morose (it’s Hardy, natch) and mildly surreal. NSFW, however.
