  Evocative Jam December 16, 2006
Written by lunarorbiter
I purchased the download because I’m a big fan of Robert’s solo work. I enjoyed this effort more after several listens, however I don’t like the sound of the V-Drums and Belew’s rock style is distracting. Considering that the V-Drum is a MIDI instrument, there is a world of samples he could have used rather than the standard and rather bland factory V-Drum sounds. I know this would mean giving up the physical modeling of the V-Drum but as I stated, I’m not impressed with it. Modern VSTi romplers with multiple layers of velocity switching offer high quality ethnic percussion from every corner of the world. A device known as "Receptor" makes it possible to play them without using a computer for live gigs.
This music is very impressive and interesting, especially for a live recording. It could have used a little more focus but I don’t regret my purchase.

Nondistorted groovy grooves Mon., Sep 13, 2010
Posted by: DeVito
I’m puzzled by the previous reviewer’s complaint of "distortion in the drum beats" -- I don’t hear any distortion through my speakers (headphones either). Maybe the reviewer’s speakers were blown, or he just isn’t used to the sound of Read more

Distortion ruins these grooves Tue., Sep 25, 2007
Posted by: Sieveboy
The grooves here are spectacular. What I don’t get about the sound is the distortion in the drum beats, it sounds like some kind of digital clipping. It’s worst in the Boston gig, but it’s also in the Read more

Soundscapes meets Crimson in P6 Tue., Jan 23, 2007
Posted by: candrsn
This is definitely a classic DGMLive download. P6 really sounds like a refined blend of Crimson and the Soundscapes, and it’s a wonderful blend at that. Adrian lays a great improvised foundation while Fripp covers the lines with some familiar Read more

P6 Fri., Dec 15, 2006
Posted by: DanAnderson
The thing that interests me regarding this release is that it parallels the recent playing of RF on the newest Fripp & Eno releases as well as his solo ventures. This is a more textural, relaxed Fripp as opposed to the Read more

several shows in a row, an opportunity to hear the effect of repeated
performance on a group and their music. By the time the boys hit Keswick, I Read more
