Gave this a spin in light of the recent "Brilliant Trees" poll. Yes, it's got Mr. Nelson and Mr. Fripp all over it, but it still comes in behind "Secrets" and "Trees" as far as his 80s solo albums are concerned. The tunes just aren't as memorable. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's damn good though.

Not to mention "Alchemy" - I think I've played that more than GTE.

No can't enthuse about this as much as SOTB or BT...still pretty great and 'Before The Bullfight" is quite lovely...

Amazingly enough I discovered this album from seeing the "Silver Moon" video on VH1.

This may be the best album he ever did. The most impressive thing is how the vocal and the instrumental disc work together as one piece you can listen to entirely in sequence, not merely discrete "pop" and "ambient" records. Despite the differences, it's as if "the story continues" from one part to the other, like in 2001. Partly this continuity is due to Fripp and Nelson playing lead guitar on both halves.
Emotionally, the songs are sunnier than on his other albums. The instrumentals are also unusual in his body of work in that they are mostly based on chord changes or melodic sequences. There isn't any of the quasi-tribal rhythm from Alchemy or the Czukay collaborations.
