Levin and Bruford had recently played together in King Crimson. Fretless bassist Mick Karn (of Japan) replaced Levin for Torn’s subsequent tour dates.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Glenn Astarita awarded the album 5 stars stating "Simply put, Cloud About Mercury looms as one of the finest jazz fusion dates of the '80s, and should be deemed a mandatory purchase for aficionados of this genre".[2] Шаблон:Album ratings
