DAVID SYLVIAN Sleepwalkers (2010 UK 16-track CD album - In the '00s, David Sylvian produced two of his strongest and most solitary statements, 'Blemish' and 'Manafon'. But those records don't tell the whole story. In the same period, Sylvian created a more playful body of work: a series of collaborations and side projects with leading talents of pop and improv, electronic and contemporary classical music. The best of these recordings are gathered here on 'Sleepwalkers', meticulously sequenced and remixed: the fruits of one-off meetings and lifelong partnerships, they jump from bliss to intrigue, romance to sensuality, as arch experiments lead into the lushest pop. Written with Ryuichi Sakamoto, 'World Citizen [I Won't Be Disappointed]' is a sublime example, with an impeccable melody and lyric warmed by Sylvian's gorgeous tenor. Presented in a deluxe 6-panel digipak picture sleeve).
