Coming Down is the first solo album by former Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, and Love and Rockets guitar player Daniel Ash, [8] released by Beggars Banquet in September 1990. [9] The first single, "This Love", was a number two hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States. [10] Natasha Atlas sings on many of the album's tracks. [11]
The album peaked at No. 109 on the Billboard 200. [12]
Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly called the album "insidiously listenable — all thick, pulsating drums and sinewy melodies, topped by Ash’s studio-processed and thus inhuman-sounding vocals." [4] Trouser Press wrote that the album "takes off in a bunch of different directions, from sedate cocktail swing to low-key salsa (!) to somber atmospherics to jittering dance noise." [11] The Buffalo News praised the "furtive, moody, electronically draped reflections on reality and romance." [13] Q Magazine described it as 'sometimes playful, sometimes moody tinkering [that] is for close friends and relatives only'. [7]
