MasSuave Aug 10, 2022
This is what I came to expect from Sylvian. The Banality Of Evil, The Day The Earth Stole Heaven, Serotonin & The Librarian are my top five favorite tracks. Not to say the rest are bad,but these are my go to tracks. There is one song I do play on repeat over and over, and that is "The Day The Earth Stole Heaven." Call me an old romantic, but the lyrics speak volumes of a lost love.

Your Feet Leave the Ground and You're Soaring Above
“It's a wonderful world and you take and you give and the sun fills the sky in the space where you live. It's a day full of dreams, it's a dream of a day and the joy that it brings nearly sweeps her away.” Snow Borne Sorrow is crammed full of beautiful melancholy and the melodies are soaring high. “Here come the darkest birds all tar and feathers why did none of them dream of trying to make things better?” Trumpet, saxophone, clarinet weave a real musical web adding to the songs especially delicate charms. “I'm having my day, my place in the sun. I'll grow to resemble the man I've become. There'll be time for reflection when I reach that plateau, when the war has been won no farther to go.” And all those refined harmonies make the album literally unique.
