Warm and Cool

The album was produced by Verlaine. It was engineered by Mario Salvati at Acoustilog, in New York City. Patrick Derivaz and Billy Ficca played bass and drums, respectively, on the majority of the tracks. It was recorded over two nights, primarily because Verlaine wanted to play with Ficca. "Harley Quinn" was recorded with Fred Smith and Jay Dee Daugherty. ==Critical reception==

Stereo Review wrote that the album "finds Verlaine exploring new avenues of expression on the guitar, applying a thinking postmodern rocker's minimalism, a jazzman's improvisational skill, and a vintage Fifties guitarist's predilection for reverb and twang." The Vancouver Sun opined that it "never really takes off; there are a couple of nice moody bits." The Calgary Herald noted that the guitar can sound "like Ry Cooder meets Angelo Badalamenti in a garage just off New York`s Central Park." ==Track listing==
