Autumn 1989

"Spending The Days" is an Eno-esque instrumental and "The Method," with it's 
alternating heavy and ecstatic keyboards and slowly enunciated vocals reminds me a speck of 
OMD's early drone style.  "In A White Room" is best, with it's tribal drumming and reverberating, 
resonant piano and keyboards ALA Birdsongs of the Mesozoic.  
Lee Piva's high, fragile vocal adds a poignant but joyous note.

Drummer Orsi masterfully creates a backdrop of sparse, solid, laid-back drums 
and minimal curtains of digital synthesizers, while John, guest vocalists 
Peter Moore and Lee Piva,and guitarist David Zinn narrate the atmosphere.  
Cerebral space and power.  Recommended.

In which Rhode Island's oldest New Romantic hooks up with some of his peers-each 
of the three tracks offer a different guest star.  David Zinn smears multiplexed early Fripp 
guitar solos over "Spending The Days," with Orsi maintaining polyrhythms of six against 
eight on the Casios. "In A White Room" is awash in Eno echoes and mysterious, 
gorgeous timbres, to which Lee Piva sings something enigmatic.  "The Method" 
sung by Peter Moore, is more obvious in its workings-sounds like radio music.  
But this tape will haunt you.
