Definitely Sylvian's worst album. His signature ballads sound uninspired, and the numerous attempts at absorbing other genres feel desperate. Very apparent that after the wonderful Secrets he was musically spent (until he re-discovered himself as an avant-garde artist on Blemish), the fact that it took him no less than 12 years to release Dead Bees... speaks for itself. Still it's not as bad as some people claim, the first 2 and the last 2 songs are up there with his best work.

sylvian's worst!? this album is absolutely gorgeous and among his best to me
|

dunno, maybe "desperate" is too harsh indeed. what i meant is that he tries new things here but doesn't seem to have too much faith in them, doesn't really know what he wants

it's a nice album, but it's a victim of the CD era
far too looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
plus it's a bit samey in some bits
|

a few classic songs though. the first two and last two are among his best

i dont find this too long tbh, its 14 tracks, not that bad... gone to earth is far longer
but yeah this is one of my fave sylvian albums. its pure beauty spacey lounged out mystic jazzy tunes.... : )
im also a sucker for an atmospheric trip-hop environment and this brings it home hard

I didn't like the last two songs much :/
Much preferred the two before that, saw them as the late album gems.

The first ever vinyl release of @DavidSylvian58's 1999 album Dead Bees On A Cake was one of the highlights of #RSD2018 but with only 1000 UK copies many buyers missed out. A standard black vinyl 2LP version with different artwork will go on general release on Friday 19th October."
