 Slow, Meditative, Beautiful February 12, 2006
Written by mflaherty
Robert Fripp does well playing in churches. As I said in my "All Saint’s" review, it also helps if he has more time to work. (An appreciative audience also may help.) While I expected, for those reasons, more from this release than from the shorter December Suite works, I certainly didn’t expect it to surpass All Saint’s in my estimation. It has, for me, done so, primarily because of my personal preference for soundscapes that feel the most dark and reflective. Much of this material could be called ambient, and those who prefer these moods will probably enjoy this disc. The Time Stand Still section, here divided in to similarly titled sections and Promenades, runs just under 50 minutes (all of disc one). Obvious, to achieve something of this magnitude while sitting and playing in front of an audience shows that Fripp was particularly inspired that evening. As DGM acknowledges, there are technical problems with this recording in the form of some distortion (more than on the WFC download), so if you need audio perfection, stick with All Saints. Obviously, I did not find these problems to be a major distraction. If you love soundscapes, I think this one will please you.
