Having performed with the band No-Man, and in Barbieri's case nouveau prog rockers Porcupine Tree, JBK began exploring longer possibilities in their music, as demonstrated on their label debut, Beginning to Melt, a compilation of tracks by or featuring JBK that had no home elsewhere. Worth the price alone for the Karn/Torn composition "Shipwrecks," a perfect summation of how a piece called "Shipwrecks" should sound, other notable tracks include "The Wilderness" (Mr. & Mrs. B) and Robby Acceto's "Human Age." ~ Kelvin Hayes, All Music Guide
