  Useful Music November 30, 2006
Written by printmaker
The first question that I asked myself, in my was "Do I need to buy more Soundscape?". I decided that I did and my modest outlay has given me some very rich and useful music. I do not feel that I have the words to describe this music and I will simply list the uses that I found for it:
- On a moonlit walk through dark lanes; it was a pleasant companion and I could still hear owls hooting over the music.
- Sitting contemplating reflections. It is interesting to me how the music created in one space transfers to another. In this case from an evening church to the matins of a chilly morning by a wild pond. This was a pleasant moment. The final section is a lovely soundtrack to meditations on pleasant times.
- At work (1). I work in very fine detail and need music that will wash past me at one time but also allow me to stop and concentrate on it at another. Evensong is proving to be a congenial companion in the studio.
- At work (2). I thoroughly recommend Evensong to accompany the slow repetition of printing on an iron handpress.
It seems sometimes that the best that we can hope for today is that something is simply fit for its purpose. Evensong meets that requirement admirably. Be tempted to explore the uses that you can make of this music.

I think this is one of most beautiful Fripp music I ever heard. In a couple of years, maybe a little bit less or more, Uncle Bob changed way. It has not been a forced "decision" but a natural way Read more

Again, the Question Tue., Dec 5, 2006
Posted by: BillKent
What is most marvelous, and valid, about Mr. Fripp’s Soundscapes is that they contain within them an inquiry into how it is possible to make music, given the time, place, audience expectations, performer’s expectations and other factors leading Read more

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 Read more

The Sound of Bells Gently Chiming Mon., Nov 27, 2006

Does this music mostly settle into a mimicry of bells gently chiming on a quiet afternoon? Yes. Do I like the sound of bells gently chiming? Yes. Is the music reminiscent of the first two Fripp and Eno Read more
