Title: A novelty record at best
Product review: Fripp's "Soundscapes" technique works nicely when paired with other instruments, for example, pieces by King Crimson, David Sylvain, and The California Guitar Trio, but all by itself it is without feeling because it lacks rhythm and melody. The sounds he 'harmonizes' sometimes work -- sometimes not.The liner notes mention that at one of his shows members of the audience were so upset with the quality of his music that a near riot ensued. So why did he include a track from that show? Did he want to infuriate more people? Fripp seems bent on indulging only himself. Note to Robert: it is best that a performer serve the needs of the audience.The redeeming quality of this CD is that it is unique. Certainly no one else plays like this. It sounds very interesting. Unfortunately it is not music.
