Love Cannot Bear

Love Cannot Bear, Soundscapes - Live in The USA, is now available for download.

Though several tracks are taken from a series of dates in the USA in June 2005 (New York, Massachusetts, Huntington) there are also performances dating from 1995 (the solemn Midnight Blue taken from A Blessing Of Tears), 1997 (On My Mother’s Birthday and 2001). In light of this, Love Cannot Bear feels akin to an audio documentary spanning Fripp’s many years of patient inquiry into the possibilities of soundscapes and its related activities.

Love Cannot Bear offers a guided tour to those places of reflection where soundscapes emerge; places of mourning, quietude, foreboding, lamentation. As Fripp explains in his sleeve notes “Affirmations, statements & declarations of faith that the creation is benevolent (despite all evidence to the contrary) are, in these Soundscape settings, mainly diatonic. As such, they are often easier listening than the atonal, polytonal & chromatic music of other Soundscape areas.”

[Excerpt from Sid Smith's album notes]
