Torn seems somewhat tame (is that really possible?) on Polytown, tempered by the relentless rhythm section of Bozzio and Karn.

 Blogcritics.org: David Torn - Tripping Over God   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
David Torn's Tripping Over God is an album that has defied description since the day I bought it in 1995.
There truly is little else in the natural world that can reflect or describe the sounds David Torn is able to concoct with a guitar, but very little of it truly sounds like the guitar as most know it.
Torn ably mixes ethnic instruments he himself plays with traditional rock instruments (which he also plays himself - drum programming, guitar, bass, harmonica, percussion; aside from one song on which his son contributes "noise and his fretless bass.") The result is something that sounds distinctly unusual, but cannot be traced to any one culture.

 Bebo Baldan
His collaboration with the American violinist Stephen James (Ravi Shankar, Bill Laswell), and guitarist David Torn (David Sylvian, Jan Garbarek) has allowed him to explore ethnic and non-European types of music, an original Mediterranean formula influenced by jazz, traditional and warm electronic music.
Acoustic and electronic sounds merge together, subtly influenced by new age streams, and the tracks which make up his albums possess their own unity - it's almost as if they had been actually conceived to project visual images.
Along with acoustic and electronic instruments, BEBO utilises an advanced array of technology, loops and samples to create his "Trance-kit" soundscapes; they then serve the transmogrification of the primal rhythms of Africa, North and South America and India into the multi-textured vibrating sensation of his "Rhythmo-Drone" Experience.
