This boxed set brings together a number of Robert Fripp performances and extracts from solo concerts from 2004 - 2009. It originated as a series of weekly releases on digital streaming sites during lockdown in 2021 and was presented as music for reflection at a time when such was sought by many. If anything, it holds together even better as a continuous body of work, gradually unfolding over eight discs. Now presented as an 8-CD set, in precisely the same running order as originally released, four sets of 2 discs each in miniature gatefold sleeves, with a booklet containing the artwork for each piece, housed in an outer rigid case.

Robert Fripp has been one of the most innovative and inventive British guitarists for over half a century. Beyond his trail-blazing work with King Crimson, his collaborations with Brian Eno, David Bowie, Daryl Hall, Peter Gabriel, Blondie, and Talking Heads to name but a few have resonated with audiences around the world. In the 1990s his 1970s Frippertronics system gave way to Soundscapes and with it a new generation of performers such as Future Sound Of London, The Grid and many others were not only citing Fripp as an influence but eagerly having him appear on their records. Some musicians inhabit genres, very few invent them, whether intentionally or arbitrarily credited with such. Fewer still continue to evolve, push forward, challenging both themselves and their audience.
