Salisbury Cathedral

Salisbury
The blue stained glass window dominating the Trinity chapel of Salisbury cathedral is known as the Prisoner of Conscience window.[endtease] Installed in 1980, the dean of the cathedral said it represented ''the call of a man to a higher power, to the universal, uttered in a terrible moment of doubt and loneliness.'' It’s not such a stretch to suppose that these themes might also present in this remarkable set.

The seventh date of the UK Churchscape tour, Fripp had last performed there for four days in June 1997. Though his appearance nine years later might be shorter in duration, it is just as long in terms of commitment, melodic exploration and that rapturous aspect, that ineffable “X” factor which some Soundscapes have in spades. The main theme on Time Stands Still appears to invoke the aching melody from Starless - if not the actual notes then the same yearning feel.

From there, Queer Space Harmonic seems to address precisely the areas outlined by dean in his appreciation of the stained glass window. These two tracks when combined with the devastating beauty of At The End Of Time make this a truly exceptional set even by the already high standards set by other performances on this, and other tours.

Travelling
This music has so much space, taking the listener on a journey. I find it very refreshing to listen to Mr Fripp’s pieces of music. This soundscape is one in which the listener can really get a sense of travel. My only concern was that my geography did not enable to witness this piece live.

Music that exists in this world but is not of it.
Music that exists in this world but is not of it. I have found that each of the soundscape releases approaches this possibility with differing degrees of resonance. Some of the music flies by one day and at a later listening settles long enough to engage with in a meaningful manner. Some of the music is immediately unsettling and demands attention - work even. That there is an emotive quality contained in the soundscapes is undeniable. There are times when my experiencing of the soundscapes ...

Dumbstruck!
This has the "x" factor in spades! I’ve listened to it 4 or 5 times now since downloading yesterday and it just keeps growing on me. I was going to say that it is short, but succinct is probably a better word in that each of the three main pieces seem perfectly formed. Yet within the 37 minutes there are occasions when time does indeed stand still! Am I influenced by having been there on the day? Perhaps. Closing my eyes brings back the emotions on the day – Sacred music in a sacred setti...
