![]() Sylvian's lyrics and voice are poetic and soul bearing, like the voice in your head, but with subtly revealing musical inflections, while the sparse musical accompaniment provides just enough for any listener with patience to connect the dots. In particular, guitarist Danny Torn and wind player Mark Isham both play perfect foil to Sylvian's muses, completing the journey that began with "Brilliant Trees". While everything here flows naturally and genuinely, the standouts are the wondrous "Orpheus", "When the Poets Dreamed of Angels", "Let the Happiness In", and the bonus track "Forbidden Colours". That we are all alone in more ways than not is perhaps one secret of the beehive both unnerving and comforting. This is a desert island disk with the ability to maintain sanity even in lengthy if not eternal solitude.
