1Taking The Veil for the association of cold voices and keyboards of JAPAN and the magic guitar of Robert FRIPP
2 Laughter And Forgetting for the sober piano and a voice like Joe JACKSON and the finale with the jazzy, bluesy,
ethereal trumpet and bringing a cinematic sound before its time
3 Before The Bullfight and its long glacial metronomic crescendo with the bright pad, the viscous monotone
voice and the aerial guitar notes, all still sprinkled with the trumpet: clean tinkered sounds
4 Gone To Earth starts again on the convoluted melody, substrate between the spleen and the metallic with a
deconstructed guitar that lasts like forever
5 Wave follows and carries everything away, the melody becomes groovy and marshmallow, sticky, Robert using
his instrument to torment the ears; the sound becomes apart from the norms, between cold wave and a latent
pop air, with the trumpet still printing the late night title in a dark café on 11th Avenue; in short, monolithic and
metronomic, an endless title like this wave to infinity
6 River Man enters a little more into the turmoil of his mentor Robert with the sound that continues; a dark pad,
percussion, Robert who responds to David's typical vocal; the pride of place for Robert's unique vibrations
7 Silver Moon for the western pop folk ballad with sax and pedal steel to better set off on the great deserted US
roads.8 The Healing Place soaring, ambient, latent; the guitar prints an echo, that of the duel between guitar and bass, that of vibration, of introspection 9 Answered Prayers dives lower, its archaic contemplative; the progression is linear but very present, inviting a journey without answers supported by a crystalline acoustic guitar 10 Where The Railroad Meets The Sea with the piano for the dark softness, the guitar in a jet of notes; to be taken as a monolithic interlude 11The Wooden Cross for the reverb like that found on a frozen lake, imprinting the smooth sound 12 Silver Moon Over Sleeping Steeples for an interstellar interlude with the moon in the distance, a melancholic acoustic variation on the pedal steel of great beauty 13 Camp Fire: Coyote Country with the slide and the sensation of visualizing a ricochet on a lake, Robert tormenting his strings again and again and imprinting the climate of the concept album without seeming to 14 A Bird Of Prey Vanishes Into A Bright Blue Cloudless Sky ad repetitum 15 Home with the electric piano bringing a little more serenity after the dark hours, this keyboard reminding me of that of 'Birdy' from a year before on an umpteenth heady crescendo 16 Sunlight Seen Through Towering Trees with perhaps bursts of sunlight piercing through the trees 17 Upon This Earth as a musical melting pot with the slow progressive decline that grinds the mind, keeping it on alert.
