Brilliant work.
I have been a fan of Sylvian's work since the early 80's, when I first heard his "Briliant Trees". This is all his essential work, for listening to deeply, and not to be missed. The British pressings are decidedly superior to the US versions, having a warmer sound.

Essential David Sylvian
The breadth and depth of the music represented in this beautifully packaged collection has not lost anything w/ respect to its age/range of music. The accomponyment by the likes of Bill Nelson, Sakamoto, Jansen/Barbierri/Karn, Russell Mills, Robert Fripp, Michael Brooks et al bears testimony to just how many TALENTED ARTISTS are influenced and eager to work w/ Mr. Sylvian. Just Buy It.

Brilliant
Correcting and taking exception with the main review, David Sylvian's first album is named Brilliant Trees, not Beautiful Trees and given the large collection of music represented, not to mention the complexity, one can only wonder if the main reviewer was paying enough attention to give a true and honest review,(if not a correct title to the artist's first solo release and the first album in the set) to this dynamic collection, or if he was trying to meet a quick deadline to get paid. My guess here is that he probably listened too quickly and missed a chance to give one of the best sets of music ever complied a fair review. This re-issued gem of musical prodigy is not a quick listen, it is complex and reveals beauty, progression, and a profound growth of talent and understanding of self. Weatherbox is a rare music find. Collaborations with musical prodigys such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Holger Czukay and Robert Fripp have produced this very solid, amazingly intellectual collection of music. This very private,talented man has produced a brilliant body of work in this rare set that should not be missed.
