It's particularly good with headphones, because you can hear each guitar individually. pret-a-porter comes off looking rather silly after your explanation... |

| luckywhitegirl (Florida) | Posted: Sep 12, 2007 - 10:12 I agree --I could listen to this for hours! |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Jun 10, 2007 - 02:54 My only possible complaint - the piece doesn't run for long enough! |
| pret-a-porter (Kanadia) | Posted: Mar 07, 2007 - 21:31 why are so many people taken with this little prelude? is it because it is one of the least challenging pieces bach ever wrote and everyone remembers it from childhood piano/guitar lessons? let's hear the fugue that follows it - much more interesting musically - or any of the other 47 preludes/fugues in the collection |

| MiketheKnife (Virginia) | Posted: Jan 06, 2007 - 17:37 Had high hopes for this one when it first started. Left me soon afterwards. Pity- he/they are capable of so much better. |
| madaxeman (By the sea) | Posted: Dec 23, 2006 - 05:25 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lovely |
| ericthereid | Posted: Nov 24, 2006 - 01:26 The second you hear it, it sounds good. After that it just kinda fades away. |
| cptbuz (El Dorado Hills, CA) | Posted: Nov 09, 2006 - 11:41 I think that many of you would appreciate this song more if you could see it performed. The League of Crafty Guitarists is (was?) comprised of 6 to a dozen or so musicians, and though Fripp is the "centerpiece" if you will, he does not take the lead other than in a maestro sort of way. This song, as are most of the League's is played in a collabrative effort. It's not just one or two people strumming and picking. Each member playes a piece, sometimes a single note and the result (when seen live) is amazing. It does lose some of it's appeal when simply listened to. |

Me, I'm missing the "Cat's foot, iron claw, neurosurgeon screams for more." Actually I find this rather enjoyable, although there are other pieces by the League that are more interesting/unique. Hard to go wrong with Bach though. |
| yclept (sea to sky) | Posted: Oct 25, 2006 - 20:09 been done better by others |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Oct 25, 2006 - 20:09 Oooh that was nice, I just caught the last few notes...play it again Sam! |

"oh yay, anniebear can post comments! S T U P I D!!!!" That said, I've heard better versions of this lovely Bach piece. Still a 7, IMHO. |
| TobiMc3 (Sunny, Arlington VA) | Posted: Sep 26, 2006 - 12:57 not a fan. |
| jubilantme (Indiana, where sanity and wisdom vanish.) | Posted: Sep 26, 2006 - 12:56 hmm, certainly not a very crafty piece. |
| meower | Posted: Sep 26, 2006 - 12:55 I can play this on the piano! |

| Geecheeboy (under a crescent moon and palmetto tree) | Posted: Aug 28, 2006 - 06:08 Makes me think of Stuart Smalley: "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dogonnit, people like me." |
| algrif (Slightly west of Zero) | Posted: Jun 16, 2006 - 01:17 This is the sort of technical piece you would use at home to practice your technique. Please don't inflict it on other people. It is just plain boring. |

| Kevstar (San Diego) | Posted: Jun 01, 2006 - 11:07 I recently saw Fripp play a solo show where he played his soundscape/sonic wallpaper music. I must admit it was not very good and it sounded like some messed up synthesizer. Absolutely was not guitar music. |
| rklein (East Bay) | Posted: Jun 01, 2006 - 11:00 Great, but again I am missing the fuga afterwards. |

| rklein (East Bay) | Posted: Apr 18, 2006 - 17:22 Too short! More of that! |
| DannyNC | Posted: Apr 18, 2006 - 17:20 Every song on this album gets an 11!!! Robert Fripp is a legendary musician. |
| Abulafia | Posted: Apr 18, 2006 - 17:20 Beautiful. Not what I would picture upon hearing the album name. |
