For AT THE END OF TIME, Fripp chose a collection of churches in England & Estonia & created music that is both devotional & envelope-pushing. It's not the typical soundtrack for a house of worship, but Fripp uses the cavernous spaces effectively, creating gorgeous, meandering tracks full of celestial echo. ...
