A BLESSING OF TEARS 1995 SOUNDSCAPE-VOL 2 - LIVE IN CALIFORNIA

Yes, this is a masterpiece. Pure beautifulness and emotions emerge from the simple synthesized & looped solo guitar of Mr. Fripp. Though the tracks are cut from DAT- recordings of Fripp's Californian tour 1995, this is not a completely authentic live album, as there are small edits done afterwards. Last two tracks have been edited (another presented backwards!), but this doesn't bother at least me in a smallest way, as these edits are explained clearly in the booklet and they are logical within the context of the album. Many people who dislike KING CRIMSON have still enjoyed this music, as it is aestethically pleasing and quite easy to access. Still I have found lots to listen from it, as there are several long processes going on simultaneously. I wonder if one could be hypnotized with this? Well, "A Blessing of Tears" is also an example of perfect manufacturing and production quality of DGM (Fripp's own record company). Booklet is informative, beautiful in design and it contains a neat DGM sampler, which you can run on your computer. You can visit DGM at http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com, where I believe you can also buy this CD.
