 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.

This is one of the best soundscape performances available, IMO. It has a wide range of music. At times it is beautiful and other times terrifying. Be prepared for a wild and powerful Read more

I tried another bit of "Xenochrony" with this one (A process I’ve now decided could be called ’Kcolliding’) - it works rather nicely if you superimpose it over "Pastorale: Mendoza".

As is routine, another georgeous performance. What’s to understand? Vintage Fripp, to be savored like a fine wine. Beauty is what it is...

This is a rare look into the mind of a master of his craft. While it’s explicitly about guitar craft, the discussion would apply to anyone who creates things out of thin air, including comptuer Read more

I’d love to have two copies of this. First, I’d love one "clean" copy for my students, for in terms of recorded poetry readings, it’s well done; it really captures the feeling of the poems Read more

The poems are great, but the profanity just makes this. I’d love to hear Robert recite some Kevin Bloody Wilson lyrics now.... Excellent find!

Absolutely brilliant!! This is ’true’ music...a soul calming and spiritually enlightening experience. Easy on the ear, the gliding musical transformations are both delicate and intricate. Thankyou Robert for this masterpiece.

...nor do I think it should be. A little too ’polished’ for my taste with lyrics a bit too obvious. Still, it’s a pleasant listen. Read more

In terms of album releases, At the End of Time represents a transformation in Soundscapes. There is the melodic soloing along the lines of The Equatorial Stars; there is the fascination with rapid-fire (for Soundscapes) repetition that is hinted at Read more
