Excellent nightly writing music.

one of the first albums I always put on when the weather changes in the fall!

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.
