Brilliant Trees First solo album and recommended for songs such as 'Nostalgia' and 'Red Guitar'. (M=8, N=8)
Alchemy - An Index of Possibilities A haunting instrumental collection. (M=7, N=7)
Gone to Earth A double album in its original form and including instrumental tracks. A truly excellent album with wonderful songs such as 'Before the Bullfight' and 'Wave'. (M=9, N=9)
Recommended: Secrets of the Beehive
Possibly the best of Sylvian's albums - strong melodies, fantastic musicians and some of the best songs he has written. Includes the short and moving 'September' and arguably his best ever track 'Orpheus'. If you want one album , get this. (M=10, N=10)
Plight and Premonition Atmospheric instrumental with Holgar Czuckay. (M=7, N=8)
Flux and Mutability Atmospheric instrumental with Holgar Czuckay. (M=7, N=7)
Rain Tree Crow The celebrated Japan reunion - stunning tracks, great production. Includes the excellent 'Blackwater' and 'Cries and Whispers'. (M=9, N=9)
The First Day David Sylvian in a more edgy mode with Robert Fripp - includes 'Jean the Birdman'. (M=7, N=7)
Damage Sylvian and Fripp live - this is the only live album he has released though it is quite different from his other live work. (M=8, N=7)
Dead Bees on a Cake Back as a solo artist with a great range of thoughtful tracks including 'I surrender' and 'Wanderlust'. (M=8, N=8)
Approaching Silence A meditative album with a wonderful atmosphere. (M=7, N=7)
Recommended: Everything and Nothing
A definitive collection of Sylvian's music on two CDs. Includes new recordings and even music from the 'Japan' days - worth it for rarities and new versions alike. A must-have CD. (M=9, N=10)
Damage re-issue Sylvian decided to re-mix Damage from his own perspective - an interesting difference and perhaps this is the one to get. (M=8, N=8)
Camphor A stunning, largely instrumental, compilation with wonderful shades of dark and light. (M=8, N=8)
Blemish The new album bristles with stark electronica - deeply personal and thoughtful. (M=7, N=8)
