Adrian Belew: Desire Caught by the Tail (1986)

This is another winner from Adrian. By the way, the title is borrowed from the title of a play by Picasso, originally entitled Le Désir attrapé par la queue. For his third record, he went all instrumental, and it works very very well. There are so many cool tunes on the record.

Adrian Belew used his third release to blatantly demonstrate his love and talent for avant-garde guitar work, but many of the tracks on Desire Caught By the Tail take his passion for boisterous distortion, warped notes, thick sound, and highly experimental playing methods into absurdity. But those who appreciate the many facilities that an electric guitar can perform, musical or otherwise, will feel right at home with Desire's eight tracks. There's no question that Belew is a master at what he does, and even though cuts like "Laughing Man," "Z," and "The Gypsy Zurna" are indeed unorthodox, there's a certain attraction to the way he creates music out of, well, non-music.

I agree. It's amazing, and I forgot how much I liked it until I threw it in the turntable a while back.
