Very Good Sound, Very Good Track Selections, Very David Sylvian!.......2005-09-04

You either love or hate DS's music; you either get it or you don't. For those of you that do get it, this is a very good compilation that is very representative of his life's work to date and includes his time at Japan e.g. "Ghosts" as well as his collaborative work with e.g. Ruichi Sakamoto "Bamboo Houses".

These two tracks also happen to be my favourites but the other tracks are also very good and the track order makes for very smooth listening, so much so that for a newcomer, the album sounds very cohesive and is a good listen. DS has a very unique style and this is a very good album to get to get to know the man and his music. Recommended.

If you don't like the artist for whatever reason don't bother
with a review. David Sylvian is one of the most unique artists past or present. I love his work and really respect him as a musician and person for that matter. This compilation will not please everyone and is intended for "new" listeners as an introduction to David's talent, after all a true fan will already have these tracks found on his various cd's and other recordings.

A worthy buy, or is it?.......2004-03-03

I had a couple David Sylvian tracks here and there and I liked them very much so I figured this CD was a good place to start investigationg David's music. It's a double edge sword that this album feels like a consisant 2 cd release instead of a collection of 15yrs of musical releases. It's good in the fact that the styles of the songs don't feel disjointed or make radical changes. Overall the cds are calmy, mellow and sometimes very good. But the bad side to this is that I can't believe that a musical artist can't innovate their style over 15yrs of music.

Some of the best tracks on this collection are rare pieces that appear on compilation cds or released on somebody else's CD.

Overall this is a worthy buy as I really like David's baritone voice which reminds me very much of the Aluminum Group's vocals but with better guitar work and very nice strings and/or horns worked into the music.

powerful vision.......2003-09-19

a magnificent collection of golden songs from some other universe - where art takes precedence over commerce and true vision rules.

I have a slight problem with the packaging of this work. Everytime I open it the flimsy plastic center pieces designed to keep each cd in place, which broke apart, cause the cds to fumble around and possibly get scratched. The manufacturers should have the same standards that the music executives building homes in Malibu do! Provide us something that helps us better store our music.

Sylvian is an incredible musician/artist who should not be faulted. His catalogue is highly impressive and thoroughly satisfying.

Enjoy, but make sure you quickly preserve the songs before the packaging destroys them!

A collection.......2003-04-30

This is not a best of, this is a collection. There are some great collectable songs, some re-recordings and some classics.

New songs such as the infamously lost "Ride" make this CD worth buying for any Sylvian fan. True such classics such as Nostalgia and Red Guitar are missing, but the sublme beauty of the music is hard to ignore.

If you are a new inititiate into the world of David Sylvian, I would still recommend "Secrets of the Beehive". But as a fan, E&N is a CD I would not be without.
