| Adrian Belew - Desire Caught by the Tail Band: Adrian Belew Tracks: - Tango Zebra - Laughing Man - Gypsy Zurna - Portrait of Margaret - Beach Creatures Dancing Like Cranes - At the Seaside Café - Guernica - "Z" Belew's most eclectic work I've been a fan of Adrian Belew since His work with Frank Zappa, who put Belew on the map. However, most of his solo work is a bit too pop for me, and I often find his voice a bit edgy. Which is why I Love this album, no pop, no vocals here. Composed and performed entirely with Guitar Synthesizer, Belew makes the guitar sound like anything he wants it to. A very dreamy and eclectic work, but not to the point of being ambient. If you like your music a bit left of center, buy this one. Heavenly This kind of beauty inspires mystics. Desire Caught by the Tail is totally atypical of Belew's solo work, which if you're not familiar with, generally falls into three categories: horrible, cheesy soft-pop (e.g., Mr. Music Head; the majority is like this); atonal synthetic nonsense (e.g., The Guitar as Orchestra); and acoustic stuff (none of which I've heard). I don't know how this album happened, but it's a gem. Absolutely gorgeous. I should add that it's very weird -- if you're looking for something with a steady 4/4 beat and a rhythm guitar track, look elsewhere. Most of my friends don't like it. In fact, Belew himself might not even like it; the thing was made in 1986, and he hasn't done anything even vaguely similar (or as good) since. But then, that happens a lot -- Tchaikovsky said the one piece he'd written that he couldn't stand was the Nutcracker Suite, but everybody knows it's his best. Anyway, buy it. It will renew your faith in art. A Truly Unique Listening Experience Subtitled "Instrumental Music for Guitar and Percussion", it's all played by Belew and is some of the most sublime, beautiful music I've heard. It's a Bold artistic accomplishment and is a must-listen for serious music appreciators.
