Everything and Nothing

简介

Singer/songwriter David Sylvian's career spans a long and enigmatic scene of experimental rock and emotional restylings. Not one to fully absorb the conventional ways of a certain circuit, Sylvian is a realist musician. He is ambitious in molding his own catharses within layers of woodwinds, horns, and homegrown synth beats, and 1999's Dead Bees on a Cake was only a small cue to Sylvian's forthcoming work. The new millennium brought the release of the double-disc Everything and Nothing, a reflection of Sylvian's previously unreleased older material. Everything and Nothing is a compilation album by British singer David Sylvian. Released in October 2000, the album touches on music from Sylvian's twenty years with Virgin Records.In addition to old favourites from Sylvian's solo career and earlier with the group Japan ("Ghosts", "Orpheus" and "Let the Happiness In"), the album also includes previously unreleased material ("Some Kind Of Fool", "The Scent of Magnolia", "Ride" and "Cover Me With Flowers" among others) along with collaborations ("Bamboo Houses" and "Heartbeat" with Ryuichi Sakamoto and "Buoy" with Mick Karn). The songs "Come Morning" and "Golden Way" were taken from the 1995 album "Marco Polo" by the World music duo Nicola Alesini & Pier Luigi Andreoni, on which Sylvian provided vocals for three of the songs.
