Wulfren Civic Hall Wolverhampton, UK |
 Good work. March 10, 2009
Written by davidfsnyder
Luckily for us, Mr. Fripp listens to his muse and not to his listeners. This performance, just shy of 34 minutes long, is both heartfelt and visceral. The stereo production is tender, provide good depth and width throughout; a quad or 5.1 version would be worthy of this particular Soundscape, performed on a late version of The Lunar Module (perhaps the last tour with The Lunar Module?). The bells are a brilliant introduction, awakening, perhaps even alarming, the listener to what follows. In Time Stands Still, we have time slowing, ebbing forward and backward in beautiful eddies. Cycles repeat; voices are reflected and reversed in time. The individual cries out at its reaching this point. But can time stand still forever? Queer Jazz Symmetrical: bass, horns, piano voices welcome us into a place that is uncertain, or at least that never resolves, a morphing figure. This section cycles through darkness and light, through the tragic and comic. At The End Of Time is beautiful and peaceful, yet affirming. Thank you for this offering, DGM.
