Faultline is the second album of the American Avant-rock band Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, released in 1989 by Cuneiform Records.[2]
The album was a transitional one for the band, as it was their first recording after the departure of Birdsongs co-founder Roger Miller who had been replaced by saxophonist Steve Adams. Adams soon keft the band to join the saxophone quartet ROVA and was in turn replaced by Ken Field. Both Adams and Field recorded material for Faultline. The introduction of a saxophone also tilted the band’s soundslightly towards jazz.
