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 minutes.  This is the future of media (and the end of my bank account.)

But, never mind that.  This performance is simply beautiful.  Shimmering like morning light in the snow.  There is something crystalline about the structure and cohesiveness of the whole project that the listener can only imagine the church imbued some extra "transcendentalness" to performance itself.  I love this and find its been on repeat a few times. 

However, I noticed on headphones some of the separation and distortion is distracting.  This is a very tiny criticism in an overall perfect CD.  I recommend it to anyone who loves KC and Robert Fripp.

Having attended both the Wolverhampton and Ely soundscapes I find it difficult to review either of then in the conventional sense. Both were wonderful experiences but the Wulfrun Hall, where the guy in the T-shirt with a print Read more

This is a very good concert and I am amazed by the atmosphere it provides. I think it has the same kind of positive spirit,  "Soundcapes, live in the USA" tries to Read more
