Reviews
AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny:

The final Snakefinger LP released during the guitarist's lifetime is a typically bent, eclectic affair. Recorded with his band the Vestal Virgins (led by Captain Beefheart alum Eric Drew Feldman), Night of Desirable Objects features ornate jazz instrumentals, an English fiddle ballad, and a bit of a cappella gospel.
