Compiled from the Porcupine Tree support slot in October 2006, this is a snapshot of the duo grappling with the task of combining the harmonic ambiguity of Soundscapes with some straight ahead rock grooves. With so much of Robert’s public work being taken up with ‘scaping in recent times, it’s almost a novelty to hear him rocking it up like he does on Time Groove from Boston and Queer Jazz NYC. Despite all the technology involved this is a pared-back sound compared to previous projeKcts, and there's a tentative, exploratory quality about much of the music; two players in search of that often elusive moment, an intriguing aspect which provides much of the tension and appeal.

As well as the big set pieces there are some little jewels to be found in small places; the Frippertronics-like ending of Berklee Strut and the beginning of End Time Boston. Of this gig the Boston Herald commented “With Belew pounding on an electronic drum kit, Fripp tore into a set of improvised sound sketches, mixing in hints of electronic programming under his searing guitar explorations.” To these ears the pick of the bunch though comes from the Keswick gigs which push some of the ideas and themes investigated in the P6 series a little further. As ever Fripp’s own commentary on the performance is more circumspect. “An enjoyable performance. Probably, we played well, but I have no idea.”

DGM Website Notes (Disc 2):
Here’s part of what happened when Ade and Robert got together in Studio Belewbeloid back in February 18, 2006. There are a few rough-edges here and there and a couple of blind alleys but this is P6 getting to grips with the groove. Raw data perhaps but a rare treat!
