Recorded at Prairie Sun Recording, Cotati, California.
After completing the famed "trilogy" that consists of SWORDFISHTROMBONES, RAIN DOGS, and FRANK'S WILD YEARS, Waits took his time following it up. At the time, it was hard to imagine what crazed, exotic sonic vistas Waits had left unexplored. Further proving the mettle of his artistry, Waits pulled a masterstroke on BONE MACHINE. Instead of trying to reach new heights, he effectively plumbed the depths, stripping his sound down to the bare essentials (hence the title). At times, he sounds like a cross between an even more avant-garde Captain Beefheart ("Such a Scream") and a hip caveman banging out a song on a row of tuned skulls ("Earth Died Screaming"). Despite all this willful primitivism though, his craftsmanship is at a peak, with his thoughtful lyricism shining throughout.

Industry Reviews
Ranked #13 in Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of The Year' - ...leaves you breathless in amazement that anyone could be this friggin' weird and cool...a shining collection of tunes...
Spin (12/01/1992)

Ranked #9 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992.
Village Voice (03/02/1993)

...You never know when you're going to be shocked, thrilled, or just plain unnerved by some startling image or sound...As modern songwriters go, [Waits] is one of the few who does matter... - Rating: A+
Entertainment Weekly (09/17/1992)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...a formidable talent who is surely the true heir to Captain Beefheart...in an era when even the fringes of cultural enterprise are becoming increasingly dominated by market pandering, his is the bravest of stances...
Q (10/01/1992)

...one of the most singular-sounding albums to come along in some time...BONE MACHINE should be counted among [Waits's] best efforts--deeply weird, aggressively sardonic and, at its greasy core, painfully humane...
Musician (10/01/1992)

3.5 Stars - Good Plus - ...It's a song older than Waits himself--older than Hank Williams, older than Robert Johnson--that Waits is chasing...Albums this rich with spiritual longing prove the validity of that effort...
Rolling Stone (10/29/1992)

Highly Recommended - ...Waits keeps getting weirder--and better--proving that you can live life in sinful disgrace and come out somehow purer in the end...
Spin (11/01/1992)

...Waits doesn't prettify, he just simplifies, as the best storytellers must...shows his roots in the spirituals of black American slaves, gospel, Leadbelly's blues and the Depression folk of Woody Guthrie...weird and wonderful...
Melody Maker (09/12/1992)

...the apocalyptic howl which is Waits' strongest calling card positively bowls you over...
Alternative Press (12/01/1992)

...BONE MACHINE is minimalist music from hell, played on the bones of sinners and sung through the rusty, ravaged, and perhaps even channeled voice of the devil, who shovels coal through Waits's dreams...
Stereo Review (01/01/1993)

...the folk music of the post-apocalypse...his most chilling and darkly humorous album to date...
Audio Magazine (01/01/1993)

...his best album ever....Waits--poignant, brilliant, and original--is beyond all comparisons...
Option (11/01/1992)

...a musical sideshow; not one full of bogus wonders, but rather, applicable sounds and images. It doesn't have to be all popsicles and icicles, you know. And Tom Waits remains oh-so valid...
