NYアンダーグラウンドの奇才パーカッショニスト、Kip Hanrahanの90年リリース作品。Andy Gonzalez、Milton Cardona、Robbie Ameen、Leo Nocentelliなどいつものメンバーはもちろんのこと、Rou Reedとの仕事でも知られる Fernando SaundersやSting、Don Pullen、Chico Freemanも参加。この尋常じゃない押しの強いアーティストに演奏してもらい、さらにそこに孤独感や痛みなども注入してしまう、Kip Hanrahanのコンポーズ能力の高さは相変わらず。Don Pullenのフリーなピアノまで物悲しく聴こえます。ミステリアスなAOR A1「"...Half Of Sex Is Fear..."」、アウトしまくるピアノが圧巻のA4「"...At The Same Time, As The Subway Train Was Pulling Out Of The Station..."」、抑えたグルーヴでクールに展開するB2「"...There Was Something About His Anger That Was So...Inaccessable To Me..."」、New Waveのような奇怪さのあるスウィング・グルーヴB6「In Place Of A Morale: Geography」など全11曲収録。ヒリヒリしてます。年代が年代だけに、アナログはドイツ盤オンリー。
