Our Take

Tom Verlaine's self-titled album is a trip down memory lane, with the legendary guitarist delivering a dreamy, introspective collection of tunes that transport listeners to a different time and place.

From the opening track "Always" to the closing number "Clear It Away," Verlaine captivates with his signature blend of poetic lyrics and intricate guitar work. The album's standout track, "Penetration," is a masterclass in Verlaine's ability to create haunting melodies that linger long after the music stops.

Dreamtime, on the other hand, showcases Verlaine's more experimental side, with tracks like "A Future in Noise" and "The Blue Robe" pushing the boundaries of conventional songwriting. The album's atmospheric soundscapes and cryptic lyrics create a sense of intrigue that keeps listeners coming back for more.

Overall, Tom Verlaine's double album is a must-listen for fans of the iconic guitarist and a testament to his enduring talent. So sit back, relax, and let Verlaine's mesmerizing music take you on a journey through time and space. You won't be disappointed.
