snow borne sorrow
can't recommend enough. If get Sylvian, Japan or similar you MUST have this. Chilled, yet topical, this is the sort of magic that drives evil Robbie Williams away! David keep it coming.

Back on form and better than ever.
Having been disappointed by the Good Son remix album and I was worried that this might also be a case of a lot of less talented people trampling over David's talent, I guess I shouldn't have really worried though as he has always been brilliant at picking collaborators in the past like Jon Hassell, Robert Fripp and Holger Czukay and here he does it again. This music is beatiful and deep, there are no stand out songs because they're all classics. I was a bit unsure about the idea of him working with electonica artist at first but the sound perfectly compliments his voice which is on top form and now I am a total convert, in fact I've even started exploring electronica as a result and bought albums by Boards of Canada and Marconi Union among others! Apparently this is intended to be a one-off record which is a terrible shame as it would be great to hear how Nine Horses would develop and unlike the Good Son shows how working with the right collaborators really adds a lot to his music. Snow Borne Sorrow is definitely David's best album since Secrets of the Beehive.

Beautiful
I don't agree with some reviews - this may not be an album you will instantly love - I didn't. But that's not a bad thing. Albums that I instantly like don't often challenge, I soon get bored of them and stop listening to them after a short time. br / br /But I've been listening to Snow Borne Sorrow for a few months now and it keeps getting better for me. This is a beautiful, beautiful album. br / br /It is made for shutting out the rest of the world and listening in headphones.

Intangible Imagery
David Sylvian never ceases to amaze me with his brilliance in compostion and lyrics. br / br /I have to say Serotonin is the best song on this release, however all of them are great pieces of work. br / br /I was concerned about his first release on his new label, it too me a long time to get use to the improvisational creation, but this is very structured and a job to listen. There are some songs that have a huge jazz influence, but on The Day the Earth Stole Heaven I get a sincere folk perspective. br / br /I love this release.
