'' is the
1988 album by
Joni Mitchell , and her third for
Geffen Records . Drenched in warm
Synthesisers , the album furthers her experiment with 80's pop production sounds. Highlights include "The Beat of Black Wings", the tale of a traumatised soldier, and "The Reoccuring Dream", an assault on capitalism compiled from samples of TV commercials. The
Billy Idol duet "Dancin' Clown", on the other hand, is often regarded as Mitchell's worst song.
