"A Scarcity Of Miracles" is a fabulous album IMO. Almost Krim but not
quite, but still very special indeed, walking sure-footed into some
delicate territory where Krim has not often gone before.

Hi all-
  I agree, it is pretty good.  A vast improvment over the last "projeckt" video, which was inane, almost '80's "new age" stuff.  I admit to not having heard any more from "A Scarcity of Miracles".
  This song still needs more edge to it.  But, am I expecting only a certain kind of music from Fripp?  I am not inside his head, and don't know what his musical path is now.

This reminds me quite a bit of Jansen, Barbieri and Karns albums. And of
David Sylvian as well. Fripp has crossed paths with all of them, so
maybe that is not such a big surprise. Very good music, and I like it a
lot.
