Now available for download (or streaming audio) at http://www.thedividingline.com/p is Saturday night's episode of "PROG'OPOLIS" featuring the world premiere of SLOW MUSIC "LIVE AT THE CROC", recorded October 19, 2005. SLOW MUSIC is an experiment in improvisation featuring Robert Fripp, R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, ex-Ministry (and current R.E.M.) drummer Bill Rieflin, Fred Chalenor, Matt Chamberlain, and Hector Zazou. The sextet has just wrapped up their five-date West Coast tour--but for those of you not lucky enough to have been in attendance, we bring you "LIVE AT THE CROC" in its entirety. Keep your eyes peeled, your ears open, and your pointers aimed at www.slowmusicproject.com for possible updates, as more tour dates may be added in the near future and the CD itself may be made available for purchase through the website. Until then, however, feed your aural beast at "PROG'OPOLIS" and come to know what all the fuss is about. We promise you will NOT be disappointed! NOTE: This archive will be available for stream or download until Saturday May 20 at midnight. The show is broadcast in high-fidelity OGG format and therefore PC users are required to listen with WinAmp. Mac users can listen with Whamb. [ FYI on XP, I was unable to play this download with either Media Player (with OGG plugin) or VUplayer -- both cut off at 01:58, oddly. So I downloaded WinAmp and that worked fine. -- Toby ] love and prog, Daisy Jane co-host, "Prog'opolis" -- PROG.

I'd just like to take a minute to warmly congratulate Mr. Fripp on his birthday today, and offer my wishes for more to come! As an aside: Tony Levin's new album "Resonator" sounds amazing, at least what I've heard of it so far (about to order one). You can get a good taste of the music and the stories behind the songs, by downloading the hour-long intervew Tony did with WAMC in New York, from http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wamc/news.newsmain?action=article& ARTICLE_ID=897724 It's great stuff, especially when Lilly makes her guest appearance on "Throw The God A Bone".

Robert Bennett in ET Number 1230 suggests that to his ears soundscapes have been treading water for a while (my paraphrase). I would disagree. The changes are subtle and so easy to miss perhaps, but if you check out the Love Cannot Bear - Soundscapes: Live In The USA from October, 2005 you'll quickly see the evolution. The first track on this release, "Acceptance - Affirming" is from the summer of 2005. Then compare that to the fifth track, 1995's Midnight Blue, (originally released on A Blessing of Tears 1995 Soundscapes - Volume 2 - Live in California and you'll hear how things have developed. There's been quite an evolution. At least that's how it seems to me. :-) David Kirkdorffer ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 10:52:56 -0500 From: Ryan Tassone Subject: What ever happened to... What ever happened to the whole "37 Forms" that was mentioned a while back in a Fripp diary entry? "Form No. 1" is fantastic, and right before one of the tracks on the new boxed set, a mysterious voice says "37 Forms slowly move" or something like that. Is this another one of those Fripp Imperativ es, like the Drive to 1981 or the lesser-known Scurry to 1994? Also, wasn't there some mention about the Vicar's identity being revealed? Could someone kindly tell me who he is? Last but not least, I'd like to mention how intrigued I was to see Pat Mast ellotto's "desert island Crim" picks on the recent DGM news page. He reall y knows his KC, not like there was ever any doubt, but the fanboy in me tri ed to imagine the current lineup playing "Catfood," with Fripp on MIDI pian o-guitar and Pat going crazy on the drums...ah, to dream.

Since then, Batman Begins was released and Da Vinci Code will be in a few days. Does anyone know what film Fripp was involved with and if it was released? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2006 15:12:10 -0700 (PDT) From: John B. and Mary Pace Subject: Soundscapes and Tool First, I downloaded a soundscape done in Nashville late last year, I think. It's worth having and I found it very meditative. It is something I would pull out from time to time just to meditate and grow mellow with it. Having that, well, that's enough. I wouldn't buy more as I don't see them as much different, though they are in some ways, but still have the thematic meditative overtone. Just my opinion. I do like his soundscapes with bands like no-man and surprisingly iona. I wasn't aware he did a soundscape to some of PT's music and I have just about all their stuff. That band I surely like and for me they far surpass Tool. This isn't to blast the fellow that recommended Tool. I don't do that as we all see, feel, and hear different things in music (Hey, that sounds like a line out of Tommy, a distasteful rock opera...give me Joe's Garage anyday!) Finally I will say this the two most influential people in music in the latter part of the 20th century and the early part of this century have to be Frank Zappa and Robert Fripp!

You should check out Don Caballero, particularly their most recent album "American Don" from 2000. By the way, I discovered Don Caballero through the Music Genome Project. See http://www.pandora.com/?sc=sh14159523 . Highly recommended.

She was 83 years old. In 1994, Robert Fripp add some guitar part to songs which would be released on the "Sidi Mansour" CD. In 1996 was released a CD "Cheikha" of remixes and unreleased songs from the same recording sessions.
