The songs ache with languid phrases and the naked, vulnerable voice of Mark Hollis, the only element of the band that remains perceptible from their verse-chorus-verse past. The bashing, off-time clatter of \"Ascension Day\"; the impossibly patient organ motif snaking into a wailing guitar string in \"After the Flood\"; the terrifying, beautiful silences that engulf \"Runeii\" and \"Myrrhman\"; and the teetering, defenseless vocal Hollis lays down on \"New Grass\"--it all adds up to a stellar, shockingly original work that shreds all pretense of genre limitations, finding a transcendence in the light and shadow of musical color. --Matthew Cooke\n\nProduct Description\n\nAmazing 1991 swansong.
