Just finished...wow. So far my fav David Sylvian and a mid-high 4.5, loved it. Small Metal Gods, Englishman, Emily Dickinson and The Department of Dead Letters were my favs.

Small Metal Gods and Snow White in Appalachia are cool

looks like you'll enjoy his more experimental works than his 80s/90s stuff perhaps, Calc

Album Rating: 5.0

Possibly. I love Beehive but Dead Bees/Brilliant Trees I either need to spend more time on or I just don't find as good despite them being cool albums.

Album Rating: 4.5

have you heard blemish, calc?

Na I've only heard Beehive, this, Dead Bees and Brilliant Trees.

Noted, we'll see where I go next.

Blemish is an experience, let's just put it that way



Also, this could be of some help if you want to figure out where to go next as he's quite prolific https://www.sputnikmusic.com/blog/2017/10/09/david-sylvian-the-guide-to-volume-1/

Album Rating: 3.5

Guys in this thread will probably disagree but his 80s and 90s stuff are way better than Blemish or this.

you'll have one special individual in particular, but aside from that...maybe?



idk it's hard to really compare and at this point, it's pointless to really compare something as sparse as this to something as dense as Gone to Earth

Vastly different, depends on taste.

Democracy...is very....merry



or so they say.

The direction he took in the 2000s is so strange and different from the earlier stuff, which I'd compare to Brian Eno and Robert Fripp's solo careers.

Talons is right y'all are wrong end of discussion

Boney fuck off lmao

Also, it is telling that according to Fripp's personal diaries, he and Sylvian do still play together from time to time. So, you never do know what could happen considering he still has various connections to more conventional music (ex. Fripp/Sakamoto, Tom Verlaine, Steve Jansen)

Album Rating: 3.5

The more experimental, abstract direction by bands and musicians really resonates with some more than others. Like BLD is Fripp's favorite Kayo Dot I believe.

"BLD is Fripp's favorite Kayo Dot"



indeed it is, although Choirs of the Eye has slowly inched its way into that second-place spot. I feel like stuff like Dowsing Anemone would definitely appeal to people who like the latter-era Sylvian stuff as the 2006 iteration of Kayo Dot is incredibly sparse in comparison to the Choirs lineup and the BLD lineup.
