Vaporous weeds worn by a widow go to show that there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth in just a moment's time. The clothing reminds the victims out there about what it can feel like to lose willpower, stray from the path of acceptance, have loved ones taken away from you, etcera etcera. Fortunately speaking, events similar to this one are where albums such as Dead Bees on a Cake enter the picture - and the 1999 full-length effort is more than capable of counteracting these calamities. English singer-songwriter, musician, and ex-Japan lead vocalist David Sylvian's fifth studio album is 14 tracks of carnal sweetness that are easy and concurrently take a while to properly enjoy. Ranging from the myriad of instruments utilized to its unapologetic art-esque flavor, Dead Bees on a Cake is a three-dimensional experience which can reveal new things to the consumer the longer he/she is partnered up with it, and the recording also puts a disgusting bulk of staying power on display. There are no real awful tracks that make up this album; the overall release is quite close to optimum and justifies multiple listening sessions. Angel recommends: "I Surrender," "Thalheim," "God Man," "Krishna Blue," "Cafe Europa," and "Wanderlust"
