Reviews:

Guitar World. May 1991:
The thought of an album driven almost entirely by a fretless bass may be unpalatable to some, but anyone who knows Percy Jones' previous work knows that his expressive, throaty tone is more than up to the task.
On this amazing solo effort, the instrumentalist creates a jungle of tense, dark atmospheres. Using only a Casio-CZ101 synth, a sequencer, a digital delay, a drum machine and his own inimitable fretless bass, Jones pulls the listener through a dazzling variety of exotically jagged terrains. As each composition unfolds, one is always left guessing what lies beyond the next sharp outcropping of sonic rock.
Home recording enthusiasts will find this CD"s sound quality to be one of its most remarkable aspects, particularly as it was produced at Jones' home on a cassette 4-track machine. You'd never know it from listening.
Bassists in particular will flip over Cape Catastrophe, but it is a must for every fan of exciting instrumental music.
