Title: This cd lacks the magic of earlier sylvian works
Review: On the surface this disc might appear to be sylvian's masterpiece. I have read recent reviews that make this claim. Nothing could be further from the truth. Several songs alphabet angel, god man, krishna blue, cafe europa, are just plain duds. The good songs pollen path , dobro #2 and thalhiem can't make up for the blandness that surrounds them. Also, I don't want to hear sylvian imitate tom waits and sade in the same song (Midnight Sun)or miles davis in another (all my mothers's names). Brilliant trees, Gone to Earth and the Rain Tree Crow Disc are all masterworks from an unusually gifted man. Dead Bee's is just plain dull. Maybe he has choosen the wrong guitarists. Could fripp have saved this lackluster event? Maybe it just took too long to make. Better luck next time. But will we have to wait till 2010? A huge D.S. Fan
