  Peaceful and Beautiful. November 28, 2006
Written by LouieB
Once again, Robert Fripp fails to disapoint with the latest live download entitled "Evensong". Drawn from two concerts performed during Fripp’s Soundscapes tour in Estonia, the three pieces that make up this set are some of the most gentle and peaceful soundscapes Fripp has done up to this point. Also, their extended length and minimalist structures create a sense of timelessness and endless floating. The opening "Evensong Tallin" features typical Fripp atmospherics with his emotional flowing guitar leads over the top. After 10-minutes, this leads directly into the 17-minute "Coda" in which a repeated bell-like phrase takes over and carries to the finish. The closing "Evensong Haapsalu" begins with a slightly darker mood with an organ sound reminiscent of a Bach tocatta. Fripp’s guitar leads tend to be on the more jazzy side here. At the halfway mark, minimalist bell sounds once again take over bringing the music to a relaxing weightless and simplistic ending. As mentioned above, "Evensong" finds Robert Fripp at his most peaceful. The 47-minutes of music on this download are great for relaxing after experiencing busy and stressful times. Personally, this download came at a perfect time. If you enjoy other Fripp Soundscapes, "Evensong" is another one to add to the long list. Definitely Beautiful indeed.
