 Excellent performance... shame about the audience! May 3, 2006
Written 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 I really wish that this soundscape had been performed in a more intimate setting. Oh well!
I did feel at the time that this venue really didn’t suit what Robert Fripp was trying to do live... but through listening back to the concert again in a more controlled environment, there is a very real sense of drama and emotional eloquence in what is being played. This was so hard to pickup on during the concert, what with all the natter boxes in the crowd. The concert to me is very moving, very emotionally intense and very focused and driven.
The sound quality is superb, crystal clear and very loud too.

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

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

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

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 Read more

Solemnity, intelligence and most of all beauty Wed., Dec 21, 2005

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
