Joe McGlinchey:
When Trey Gunn had broken visibly onto the scene in the early 90s, he was viewed as a sort of protege du Fripp, with the accompanying buzz of "so what's the big deal about this guy?" Since that time, Gunn has shown himself not to be content with that sentiment, and slowly but surely he has won some modicum of respect and carved out his own niche. This is his first solo album, back when he was still largely the mysterioso Crimson initiate, and before he defected to the Warr guitar camp. The first three tracks are all typically atmospheric, with Gunn's vocals barely breaking a whisper. But they're also quite good, particularly "Killing for London," which glides along with a sensual, dark vibe. The mellow, soundscape instrumentals that follow are where my interest starts to drift a bit. Not that they're bad, just that they don't really leave much of a lasting impression. The exception is the title track at the end, which has a ghastly intensity. So, this one's a slow burner, but has got its worthwhile moments. I find myself playing this only once every few years, but my interest and appreciation it has grown in a fairly linear slope with each successive listen.
