Cloud About Mercury is the second album by guitarist David Torn, supported by trumpeter Mark Isham, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Bill Bruford. It was recorded in March 1986 and released on the ECM label in 1987.[1]
Levin and Bruford had recently played together in King Crimson. Fretless bassist Mick Karn (of Japan) had initially been selected as the bass player for the project but had to be replaced at the last minute by Levin after falling ill. Karn subsequently replaced Levin for Torn’s subsequent tour dates.
