Customer Rating: 
Summary: Fripp at his best: music is our friend
Comment: I almost didn't buy this CD. I had been somewhat disappointed with "Let the Power Fall" as a representation of the Frippertronics concerts of that era. Perhaps because it could not compare to being at the Kitchen and experiencing the tangible wash of sound, surrounded by standing waves as my friend explained. The physical reality of sound. I recall that if I would shift my position as I sat on the hardwood floor, if I'd shift just a few inches, I would enter another sonic space. I was aware of the physical boundary of sound waves floating in the air. Maybe I just had a crappy sound system at home? I don't think that's it.
I have listened to this CD on lo-fi computer speakers with the same sense of evocation. Perhaps only one cut - the title cut - leaves me a bit distracted because of the vocoder. But I have learned to appreciate this excerpt, if only for the poetry itself.

Summary: atypical Fripp
Comment: I like Fripp when he is a bit more edgy. This album is a bit too ambient for my tastes and seems to lack coherence. I compare this with his current work with A. Belew and find that I miss Adrian's contribution. When I purchased this CD I was hoping for more of the softer music that Fripp does with King Crimson.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Exqusite music of the soul
Comment: Love Cannot Bear comprises some of the most beautiful soul-searching music I have ever heard. Especially track #2. It is up there with Paul Horn's Inside The Taj Mahal for its sublime simplicity and desolate passion. They are both albums of tragic love songs without the need for words. Bless you Robert Fripp.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Acceptance- Affirming
Comment: Affirming- a better word could not have been chosen. I attended the Somerville concert from which the first track was taken and that is the only word I could use to describe it. It was an affirmation of not only the power of music but the power of persistence through struggle and the impossibility of having control over such a force as overwhelming as music can be. I read something someone had said about Fripp himself that clicked after seeing him perform: he seemed so fragile on stage by himself with just his guitar and his equipment yet he was presenting such a powerful force. Just as much if not more so than an entire group of musicians can achieve. There is no amount of preparation one can do to experience an event like his soundscape performances. The Q&A time is even remarkable. His wit and honesty is touching. That's another story though.
These performances are truly powerful peices of music that we are all blessed to have in this world, despite the constant, as he's said, attempts to keep it out. The IMAC performance struck me the hardest for a while. I'm not sure how it would stand out to others as the first listen may not seem like there is a whole lot there, but the pulsing of the form coming together so perfectly stuck out so clearly to me. It was comforting, benevolent, mysterious, and joyful. Although this can be said about every peice. None of them are any less important than another, they all speak individually and altogether as well.
There are no words nor can there ever be to express the power of music and this is a testement to that. He has achieved something extraordinary with soundscapes and this is proof of the greatness that comes with it.

Summary: Music for the end of time
Comment: Robert Fripp tapped into something quite extraordinary during at least two of these soundscapes. The 'Affirmation' tracks, one from California, and one from New York, seem to invent a new way of experiencing musical beauty, and are worth the price of this disc alone. 'Beauty' is an inadequate term for most of these creations, and another title for this CD might be "Words Cannot Describe". I'll leave it at that.
I heard Fripp recently in Atlanta, and he conjured up another soundscape that somehow altered my perception of improvised music. This disc is quietly essential.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Love Cannot Bear is the brand new album of Soundscapes by Robert Fripp. Soundscapes, consisting of improvised guitar solos played through a variety of electronic processors and sound modules, have been the primary focus of Fripp's solo performances for more than a decade. The early generations of Soundscapes were presented via a quintet of albums released by DGM between 1994 and 1996. While there have been many memorable Soundscapes concerts in the interim period, allowing the sound world and approach to the work to evolve substantially, DGM's continuing commitment to Robert's work in all its forms King Crimson (live, studio and archive work), the ProjeKcts series etc., has left his key area unintentionally under-represented on CD. The Soundscapes concept has also been presented to a much larger audience over the last few years. The Soundscapes concept has also been presented to a much larger audience over the last few years. As well as the ongoing series of individual concerts, Robert has played as part of the sell-out G3 tours of Europe and South America with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in 2004, with Porcupine Tree in the US in 2005 and ,most recently, in a series of warmly received concerts at this year's open air Big Chill festival in the UK. While most Soundscapes performances embody many moods and musical areas, Love Cannot Bear presents Soundscapes in their most positive, tonal settings and is drawn from a series of live performances in the US in June this year. 9 tracks. Panegyric. 2005.
