DAVID TORN, MICK KARN & TERRY BOZZIO: POLYTOWN

The person who is gripping a target key of some music character for this album might be Mick Karn. The member's activity since it acted about Japan that dissolved in the 80's expanded the range for very a variety of music characters.

Especially, David Sylvian and other members' frictions exactly extend to many fields with the difference of the directionality of music and have extended. Each musician and was ..Music.. opposite from all directions.

It might have been a place of a certain kind of expression for the musician to whom the existence of CMPRecords of Germany that had shown the index in their musician's activity at this time as directionality also expressed experimental music as an avant-garde like them.

If the activity at this time of them is seen, it will be clarified to connect "Cloud About Mercury" of the name of David Torn announced from ECM in 1987 with this Polytown. Torn originally requested the recording of Bass to Karn that went away from the activity of music a little in "Cloud About Mercury" though the line of Bruford-Isham-Levin participated in the recording. After all, it was not achieved. However, Torn at this and Karn have come in contact. Karn gradually showed the activity of music in various districts. And, the chemical reaction that was called this Polytown with Bozzio was caused.

It is ..composition of the tune that gives darkness and a heavy impression consistently.. finished in this album. It is evidence that the chemical reaction that they caused at the same time is splendidly expressed. The fact that offers the listener indeed high-quality ensemble though it had only for the period of a little rehearsal might be proof whose they are genuine musicians.
