LOVE CANNOT BEAR

This album is one more soundscapes work from Robert Fripp. Everyone, who loves his music, know, that there are some different lines of music, played and recorded by Robert Fripp. Everyone knows his work in King Crimson and many collaborations with different rock musicians, but beside that there are two more directions: Fripp's frippertronics and Fripp's soundscapes.

Generally soundscapes are kind of rock ambient music played by Fripp using his guitar ( ok, plus some additional devices). It's absolutely mystical, how one can produce so many sounds and play so unusual music using guitar, not keyboards/synthesizers!

For sure, as any ambient this music is rhythmless and usually has not structure. It's more as painting in air using sounds instead of colors. More emotional pictures, that melodic or rhythmic.

Fripp plays that music for years and time to time returns to it again. "Love cannot Bear" is formally live album, but you almost can't feel it. I think, it should be described as live improvisation in ambient. Sounds are very warm, even romantic in places, all the music is around you, and you can feel kind of euforia.

For sure this music is not for everyone.And not for everyday listening. But this album demonstrates highest Soundscapes level. I believe that even unpreparde person will be attracted by all this beautiful ( but not sweet at all!) sounds!

One of the best abient album I ever heard!
