1995 CD Discipline 9506



When Robert Fripp's mother passed away in 1993, he chose the new age sounds of his soundscape series to serve as a tribute to her. The liner notes in the CD booklet contain a beautifully written eulogy (by Fripp himself) about the interesting life of his mother Edie. Fripp does an excellent job of conveying his grief in the eight selections that comprise A Blessing of Tears, while his sorrow is evident in some of the tracks' titles — "The Cathedral of Tears," "A Blessing of Tears," etc. All of the tracks were recorded live during a week-long U.S. West Coast tour, and it differs from the preceding Soundscapes release, Radiophonics, because its sole purpose is obviously not to test his audience's "listening capabilities." Fripp has once again successfully put his most personal and heartfelt feelings into his music, the proof being heard throughout the beautiful A Blessing of Tears, 1995 Soundscapes Vol. 2.

Alles ist im Fluß und schwebt in den Raum, als würden sich die Töne erst vorsichtig umschauen, bevor sie sich aus den Boxen trauen.Robert Fripp, zuletzt für eine hörenswerte King-Crimson-CD verantwortlich, hängt hier 52 Minuten lang seinen Gedanken nach. "Soundscapes" nennt er diese Improvisationen, die zwar auf der Gitarre entstehen, aber nicht danach klingen. Für das zweite Projekt seiner Miniserie nahm er im Januar acht Stücke live auf und verbreitet nun mit getragenen Klängen Schwermut oder Romantik - je nach Stimmungslage.
