I'd rate this album, along with "Brilliant Trees" as the most accessible of Sylvian's work. There's not a note wasted in the whole album and it contains some of his most melodic songs, full of yearning and introspection.......beautiful. "Orpheus" alone would stand as a perfect introduction to David's songwriting genius.
This is a concise album that flows from beginning to end with no real weak spots or unending instrumentals that capture your imagination for 1 minute but then drag on meaninglessly. I suppose this album is familiar territory, you know what it's going to sound like before you play the album, and once you're listening to it, it's like put on a pair of comfortable slippers. It's warm and encompassing. A good introduction to David Sylvian for those unfamiliar with his work and don't like compliations such as 'Everything and Nothing' (although an excellent journey through his work, it is). I believe there are no weak spots, but highs have to be September, Boy with the Gun and of course 'Orpheus'.
This album is beautiful in it's entireity and this remastered version is just the cream on the top of it.It's a must have for anyone's collection.
