If you’ve never downloaded a full Soundscapes concert before then this gig is the one to start with.[endtease] For reasons which aren’t entirely clear, some Soundscapes have a special magic, an ineffable "otherness" which draws one in deeper than other performances with which we’re acquainted. Atlanta is one of them. Why should this be so? Structurally, it’s similar to others presented on this site. The instrumental voices Fripp uses will also be familiar to anyone who has downloaded other gigs. Yet, for this listener, there’s something else going on here, something impossible to express in clear or concise terms. Fripp’s diary offers little in the way of clues. “A most enjoyable evening” he declares. Other than that nothing else directly about the music that unfolded during the course of this gig. Perhaps it was venue; perhaps it was staying with supportive friends, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. What I do know is that Requiem is the keeper – delivering yearning, sadness and hope all tightly bound together into one indivisible moment that seems to go on forever.

This was my first purchase of soundscapes from DGM, a beginning of a love affair that lasts to this day. A hot marriage, to be more precise. I was not sure wether I was going to enjoy this, the soundscapes that I have listened to before were great but very difficult to digest, in terms of the level of attention span. So what? They were so intriguing, and the reviewer said that its good to get this one as a first. And now I can’t listen much to anything else, being possessed by the ’scape...

Oh my.
My second purchase from dgmlive, and a great decision. Couldn’t make it to the show, but these files suffice, as much as files can. Also my first FLAC purchase. I’m not going back now. The performance leaves me speechless, other than to say, spiritual, in-depth, wow.

Emotional Soundscapes From Atlanta.
Robert Fripp’s Soundscape performance from the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta GA is definitely one worth listening to again and again. While some familiar titles such as the now standard "Time Stands Still" and "At The End Of Time" are included here, they are once again presented in a unique fashion that separates them from the other renditions heard so far. Additionally, there are no "Queer Jazz Symmetrical" or "Minor" pieces heard here which is a departure from the norm in Fripp’s recent S...
