Editorial Review:
Churchscapes, as the Name Implies, is the Performance of Soundscapes in Churches and Cathedrals. The Choice of Venues is Deliberate. The Music is Informed by the Space Provided and Utilizes that Space in Return, the Intent of the Composer to Produce a Form of "Devotional Music" as "Personal Thanksgiving" as Mentioned in the Sleevenotes.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Fripp in the best imaginable settings.
Fripp's "soundscapes" are always utterly gorgeous, ravishing musical atmospheres that ebb and flow and shimmer with otherworldly beauty. So it is highly fitting that he undertook a tour of churches in England and Estonia with his highly spiritual and ecstatic improvised music. As he mentions in the booklet notes, one pastor told him that there have been many different musical performances in his church but Fripp's soundscapes were by far the most appropriate.

Rating:  - Fripp's Spiritual Side
I've heard about 6 or 7 Frippertronic albums dating back to Let the Power Fall. This is the best. The music is very smooth and rich, something that can not always be said for this style of music. The different churches that the tracks are recorded at also seem to add their own ambience.
This CD is not for everyone, but if you like Frippertronics, this is a good addition to your library.

Let's start with making a distinction: there is a great volume of music that we can work to comprehend, and there is a more elusive body within the body of music that it is best to apprehend.

That Churchscapes fits into the broad category of sacred music is not a point of contention. By performing in the churches of his homeland Fripp aligns with the performance spaces ... Read More
Rating: - Robert Fripp For All Time.
King Crimson's Robert Fripp continues his ongoing guitar Soundscape explorations with his latest release "At The End Of Time". In 2006, Fripp took some time out to perform in several churches in different territories including the UK and Estonia. It's these gigs that form the basis of this album.
Overall, the music is extremely peaceful and tranquil - the perfect type of music for relaxation. Fripp's layered Midi-guitar loops along with his fluid standard guitar leads are nothing short of astonishing. ... Read More
Rating: - Very meditative and relaxing
The perfect CD to relax and unwind to. I like all of Robert Fripp's Soundscapes. However, this "Churchscapes" is very appropriately titled as it has a very spirtual overtone and I find it very peaceful and theraputic. I think it would have been a wonderful experience to hear this live in the settings it was recorded.
I wound up playing this through about three times on the first listen and I have played again since then (all in one day). I highly recommend it and I believe it is a great addition ... Read More
