Review

2003 solo album from David Sylvian, his first since 1999's 'Dead Bees on a Cake'. It's the debut release for his Samadhi Sound label. David set aside a month to write & record the album while taking a break from the project that he & his brother, Steve Jansen, are working on. He has created an impromptu suite of songs for guitar, electronics & voice. The compositions were crafted from improvisational sessions captured live in the studio. Working almost entirely alone David has created an emotionally raw, minimalist work, of immediacy & stark beauty. Adding to the intensity & air of experimentation is the presence of Derek Bailey. Three of the pieces included on 'Blemish' were written with, & feature, the legendary free-jazz guitarist. The final track of the CD features a haunting electronic arrangement by Christian Fennesz. Digipak.Sylvian Created an Impromptu Suite of Songs for Guitar, Electronics and Voice. The Compositions were Crafted from Improvisational Sessions Captured Live in the Studio. Working Almost Entirely Alone, He Has Created an Emotionally Raw, Minimal Work, of Immediacy and Stark Beauty. Although There Are Elements in his Previous Body of Work that Hint at the Direction Taken Here, "Blemish" Appears to Cover New Ground in Style, Content, Intensity of Emotion and in the Seemly Open Ended Nature of the Compositions Themselves. Adding to the Intensity and Air of Experimentation is the Presence of Derek Bailey. Three of the Pieces Included on 'blemish' were Written with and Feature, the Legendary Free-jazz Guitarist. The Final Track of the CD features a Haunting Electronic Arrangement by Christian Fennesz. The Album was Recorded February 03 and Mixed in March.
