First off, the sound quality is very strong (on the FLAC download at least).  Fripp’s music has never been heard with more clarity.  As to the content, I quite like it.  It reminds me of his early records with Eno, but more focused and apparently with some internal narrative.  Still, the soothing modes that came through on "No Pussyfooting" are what’s being played and sold here.  And quite nicely.

I think a product is reviewed according to its price - value for money.  This is a 4-star product at the current rate of exchange.  For a few dolars less it would become a 5-star product.  At any rate I do quite love it and would buy it again.

Excellent performance... shame about the audience!   Wed., May 3, 2006
Posted by: derrenleepoole
I was lucky enough to attend this concert. It’s so good to hear it properly, away from the din and general crowd ignorance that accompanied the performance. Annoyingly, this was the first time I’d seen the Frippster live, and Read more

Alone and yet not   Thu., Jan 5, 2006
Posted by: AndrewJohn
Unable to arrive together with my brother I had to make a considerable personal effort to arrive I hoped in time to enjoy RF’s performance. This of course just emulates, since 1973’s THMC, the same commitment to follow Read more

Grief than Hope   Thu., Dec 29, 2005
Posted by: spider13
I definitely love this show and recommend it to all admirers of Mr Fripp’s soundscapes. Although at first glance, the overall mood of this music would suggest “grief”, after careful listening there would be a new feeling on your horizon Read more

Moving   Fri., Dec 23, 2005
Posted by: mflaherty
Of the two December 2005 releases (at the time of this writing) this is my favoite.  In particular, the final track, "At the End of Time", is very moving, capturing all the beauty of the best moments of a Soundscape live Read more

Solemnity, intelligence and most of all beauty   Wed., Dec 21, 2005
Posted by: junklight
I only spotted this download because RF mentioned 3 soundscape downloads in his diary. The shear breath taking beauty drew me away from my own thoughts a number of times. There are one or two places where the synth patch Read more
