Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Walking on Thin Ice' was released in 1992, Yoko Ono was re-establishing herself as a significant figure in the music scene after years of relative quiet following her collaborative work with John Lennon. This album comes after her 1985 effort 'Starpeace', marking her return to a more avant-garde approach in sound and production during a time when alternative and electronic music were gaining traction.
