 Nice but what's up with July 5, 2007
Written by LouieB
It’s always a pleasure when a new download from Robert Fripp pops up on DGMLive. The 20-minute "Soundsculpture" piece is an amazing slice of beautiful minimalism similar to "Glass and Breath". I personally would not have minded if this piece were extended to an hour. The short "Circulation" as well as the "Future Shift" have their moments of beauty as well. The only problem I have is with the version of "Time Stands Still" included here. It begins in the typical Soundscape build-up fashion for its first two minutes but then shifts into what sounds like a cut-and-paste tape collage. The music skips around at random every few seconds and then at around the 4:35-4:45 mark, a few seconds of the "Circulation" piece cut in before the piece returns to normal and fades out. I have re-downloaded this piece three times now and apparently, this is the way the track was uploaded on DGMLive’s end because the recording has been identical all three times. Whether it was intended to sound this way or whether it was a ’defect’ is a mystery. This is why I only gave this three stars instead of the usual five. Beware when downloading this. If "Time Stands Still" begins to skip around after the two minute mark, don’t panic. It’s exactly what I heard too. The other three pieces are awesome though especially the opening "Soundsculpture". Amazing.

If the mp3 version still has the strange skip and random cut-up characteristics noted by LouieB, try the flac download instead, as I hear no clearly unintentional glitches of the style he describes in that version of "Time Read more

Music Quite Acceptable, Buenos Aires Fri., Jun 29, 2007

I particularly enjoy the version of Time Stands Still, as well as the brief Circulation.
Fascinating to contrast this recording, a mere 3 weeks old as I write, with the Chicago 1979 Read more
