Bought this solo record when it 1st came out back in the 90s

[The Polack MSgt]

Expecting a stone crushing metal guitar opus.

And instead found a musically dense multilayered album that forced me to make an investment in time and attention to "Get it"

Vernon had a fat account from Living Color, he wasn't looking for a payday so he just made the record he wanted to make.

It's worth your time

1. Wow, Sarge, that was sublime...huge thanks.

Seriously, thank you for turning me on to this...what a rabbit hole.

Need more, so what a treasure hunt to be on.

This is why I love the mag...

2. Glad you like it. And you are so right about this particular on line forum

I love the Music Appreciation Group here on DU more than any music focused discussion board I've found - There is infinitely less snobbery and pissing on folks tastes and choices than most boards - While also having some really knowledgeable folks posting.

I've learned so much here these past --- Holy shit --- almost 6 years now.

3. I'm over halfway through the album and it still kills.

I'm on eBay looking for a decent broker for the CD as I need this in my library for my personal use.

This one is a keeper for sure. A truly magnificent album all the way through.

4. That whole 80s-90s Lower East Side avant garde scene was amazing

John Zorn & Naked City
Bill Laswell
Mike Patton

You could probably throw in Laurie Anderson and the Golden Palominos in on the slightly more mainstream side of things. I was so into that stuff when I was in college. And yeah, Vernon Reid is a really versatile and creative guitarist.
