Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Unique Acoustic Guitar Album.......2002-12-21

This album has some fantastic orchestrated acoustic guitar work. I'm particularly fond of the haunting avant guard flamenco influenced track Asturias. It's just wonderful. Where this CD really falls short for me on the vocal tracks. Though the a cappella Fripp-ian scale work is technically impressive, I can't say I enjoy listening to it. To each his own. Even so, I highly recommend this album.

2 out of 5 stars It would be decent without the...voice.......2002-10-29

The acoustic guitar playing is not bad at all on this CD. But the female's voice is absolutely terrible and I just can't recommend this CD simply because of her intro voice before most of the tracks. How could Robert let her on the CD?!?!?! I just don't understand it.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful.......2002-04-15

Just seat back and enjoy. This is the kind of guitar performances you would like to have a snack in your hands, and listen.

I you are the kind of person who's looking for an overwhelming experience, get this CD and allow Fripp and Co. to caress your senses.

5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Records Ever Made.......1999-09-28

Complex, intricate, beautiful. Steven Reich meets Beethoven meets King Crimson ala Mr. Fripp's dutiful attention to orchestration via mechanization. 17 guitarists playing as one playing as 17. Patricia Leavitt paces the record with her words and dynamic vocal range.

Truly amazing.
