Album

Robert Fripp - Second Light. Robert Fripp - A Blessing Of Tears. Robert Fripp - Returning I. The second volume of the 1995 series follows a focused tangent that started with 'Elegy' on the previous release, and groups together several of Fripp's live forays out into the deeply contemplative, mournful, and peaceful dimension of Soundscapes. A Blessing Of Tears' is by far the Soundscapes release that is least abrasive to the ears, since not a single track ever breaks the trend of solitude, sadness, grief, or departs into discord, and as such to the casual listener the album can seem one- dimensional. Well this one. Robert Fripp- A Blessing of Tears -1995. The most universal soundscape album before the last one At the End of Time-2007. 1995 - A Blessing of Tears: 1995 Soundscapes Volume II CD. 1995 - That which Passes: 1995 Soundscapes Volume III CD. 1996 - Pie Jesu CD. 1997 - November Suite: Soundscapes - Live at Green Park Station CD. On 4 May 2006 Steve Ball invited Robert Fripp back to the Microsoft campus for a second full day of work on Windows Vista following up on his first visit in autumn 2005. On 21 October 2006 Fripp was in Seattle, Washington doing recordings of Soundscapes for Microsoft to be used in sound themes by the Windows Vista operating system. A Blessing of Tears - 1995 Soundscapes - Volume Two - Live in California. 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.

Robert Fripp's A Blessing of Tears consists of improvised live performances from Fripp's solo soundscapes tour in the beginning of 1995. Soundscapes is a form of digital guitar looping based on Frippertronics- tape-based guitar looping that Brian Eno concocted. Fripp performs this in many contexts, in the case of this album, as a solo performer. The music on this album is entirely improvised, with only Fripp's guitar and processing in place. The result does not sound like a solo guitar record, but closer to electronic orchestral ambient music. Live album 1995.
