Product description

David Torn's 1987 studio album "Cloud About Mercury" is a captivating journey into the world of experimental jazz and electronic fusion. Recorded in March 1986 at Audio International in London and mixed at Rainbow Studio in Oslo, this ECM Records release showcases Torn's innovative approach to guitar and sound design. Collaborating with renowned musicians like Bill Bruford and Tony Levin, Torn crafts a sonic landscape that is both intricate and immersive.

The album's six tracks, spanning a total of 45 minutes, blend ambient textures with progressive rock and jazz elements, creating a unique and engaging listening experience. From the haunting melodies of "Suyafhu Skin... Snapping The Hollow Reed" to the rhythmic complexity of "Network Of Sparks: The Delicate Code," Torn's virtuosic guitar work and experimental production techniques shine throughout. "Cloud About Mercury" is a testament to Torn's artistic vision and his ability to push the boundaries of contemporary music.

This LP was released in 1987.

  • Jazz Fusion Dogfight

    5 out of 5 stars
    _Iphpiyaxifu_March 17, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Stunning blend of Jazz fusion and jungle-inspired progressive rock. Quite an oddball release for the label, yet a fantastic showcase of Jazz's direction in the 80s. The last track, for some reason, always transports me to an intense, high-altitude dogfight over a Pacific isle.

    Gorgeous and untamed blend of Jazz fusion and jungle-esque progressive rock. Quite an oddball for the label, yet a fantastic showcase of Jazz's direction in the 80's. The last track inexplicably transports me to a frenzied, high-altitude dogfight over a Pacific isle.
