Okay, been awhile since I heard this album, but if I recall it's stuff recorded for Twyla Tharp dance pieces - same woman Byrne recorded his great CATHERINE WHEEL stuff for. The music, as I remember it, is difficult, demanding, quirky, edgy - lots of fragmented bits of composition shifting the ear this way and that. Frith getting serious, I guess. I personally like the really noisy improv stuff he does more than this - the stuff that never makes it onto CD - but I remember really respecting this album and would love to hear it again.
