Op Zop Too Wah

Belew is back in songwriting mode for Op Zop Too Wah. Several of the songs here ("Six String," "All Her Love Is Mine") match the first-rate pop tunes he recorded with The Bears. And fans will enjoy an assortment of first-take efforts that sound like demos for the next King Crimson album ("Modern Man Hurricane Blues," "Live in a Tree"). --Jeff Bateman
