Like Peter Gabriel, David Sylvian has done his greatest work since leaving the successful band he founded (Japan). Brilliant Trees (1984), Gone to Earth (1986), and Secrets of the Beehive (1988) are marvels of somber, atmospheric rock. Sylvian's great success is his ability to infuse songs with ambience and grandeur while keeping them heartfelt and deeply personal. Lose yourself!
