1. The Pillars of Hercules 2. The Sky Below 3. A Temple in the Clouds 4. The Stars Below The Soundscapes of Jeffrey Fayman & Robert Fripp. A stunning album of looped Frippertronics and electronics, in the vein of the classic Fripp & Eno No Pussyfooting collaboration; released in conjunction with Jeffrey Fayman's Tranceportation imprint. Recorded live from a past life, A Temple In The Clouds evokes a voyage on an ancient mariner vessel bound for what might be the Earth's End. Strange mists rise as we slowly drift upon sparkling seas where sacred primordial ritual meets modern amplified sound. Awash in the hypnotic looping structures of Robert Fripp's guitar soundscapes, Jeffrey Fayman adds an opulent cinematic brilliance to the proceedings, creating an intense and dramatic vision of a future rich in the heritage of Fripp's past. Recorded live from a past life. Nine years in the making, A Temple In The Clouds is a unique collaboration between one of rock's most important and influential guitarists and a contemporary cinematic composer. Fripp's contribution of two hours worth of treated guitar work (his trademark “Frippertronics”) formed the basis for Fayman's layering of interwoven electronic soundscapes. Focusing on the subtleties and slight shifts in overtones and harmonics, Fayman and Fripp have created a dynamic musical kaleidoscope, ever changing and intrinsically radiant in each sonic fractal. "Longtime cinema composer Jeffrey Fayman layered sheets of ambient electronics over two raw hours of Robert Fripp's keening, digitized guitar loops for this mesmerizing disc. Almost a decade in the making, their effort may lack the edge and grit of Fripp and Eno collaborations, but it has a devastatingly sumptuous beauty." - Dean Suzuki, Wire Magazine, 2000
