Rare, Precious & Beautiful

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album, if you can find it, is probably Glenn's best. His unique high-energy guitar style is combined with some real pretty fretless basswork (Bill Rea), tasteful synth by Paul Provost and insistent, almost tribal drums by Doug Landsberg. The result is an album of stark contrasts: very beautiful tunes played at the edge of feedback, and driving rhythms which are so comfortable they seem quite relaxed.All of Glenn's albums have been great, but this one, which perfectly sums up his instantly-recognizable sound, remains a perennial favorite."
