  Really, A Good One July 13, 2007
Written by ScottM
Not all of the Soundscapes work grabs me - honestly, much of it doesn’t. This one does though and I think it’ll appeal to the large group of people who really loved the first two Fripp & Eno records and the Frippertronics records, and want something more along those lines of exploration. The sound is Fripp in a harsh mood - dissonant and aggressively so. Rather than deploying peaceful relaxing loops with small patches of aggressive noise, the noise is a primary color here. Much of the sound is metallic - "An Index of Metals" could have been the title of this CD. And it works very well in this listener’s opinion, in the mold of those earlier records I mentioned but opening up the palatte of sound in a new direction. It’s inventive ambient, great stuff.

1995’s "Radiophonics" is only one of the many volumes in guitarist Robert Fripp’s ongoing ’Soundscapes’ releases. Recorded live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, "Radiophonics" finds Fripp stretching his soundscapes into lengthy dissonant explorations which are sometimes beautiful, sometimes frightening but always Read more

Astonishing Fri., Jun 15, 2007
Posted by: kalka2
This is jaw-dropping, astonishing music. It’s not at all easy listening, especially the first two tracks. In terms of sheer density, 1999 is about perhaps the most similar Soundscape recording. But this is far more varied and multicolored than Read more

Moments. I still remember popping this in the CD console driving home from the store along a canopy road in the early summertime. As the music began to swirl up around me, so too did a large summer thunderstorm Read more
