Coming Attractions is a compilation album by the musician Adrian Belew, originally released on February 8, 2000. As the title suggests, it collects material that was then otherwise unavailable that Belew intended to act as a "preview" of his forthcoming work. Tracks included were intended for a (then untitled) new solo album, an (eventually abandoned) third acoustic record, a series of instrumental compositions (from the eventually abandoned "Experimental Guitar Series"), and a then unfinished box set of rarities to be called DUST that would serve as an overview of his previous 20 years of activity.

## Reviews

[edit]

Source:[2]

Alternative Press (05/00, p. 76) \- 3 out of 5
"...an engaging testament to the wide range of his formidable talents....Eclectic but cohesive [the album] is a perfect introduction to Belew's complex musical persona."

CMJ (1/31/00, p. 30)
"...humorously 'normal'. Ranging from a more traditional and song-focused Beatles tribute like '117 Valley Drive' to the experimental 'No Such Guitar,' COMING ATTRACTIONS shows the breadth of Belew's talent."
