Near Misses

Blemish by David Sylvian is a strange, beautiful, odd collection of near misses. It features, the sometimes disjoined guitar work of Derek Bailey and some sound works by Christian Fennesz. It is far from pop history of Mr. Sylivan as he explores a darker side of relationships with music and poetry. The Bailey / Sylvian songs are difficult to sit threw, disjoined guitar works with the feeling of forced lyrics. This Blemish takes you threw a ride of a mans personal disappointments, and expressing them as he explores a new world of sound sculpture. It is interesting study in sound but hard to listen to at times and is far from the pop world that many listeners may be expecting.
