3 stars The joint work with Holger Czukay might have been indeed an act of nature for David Sylvian. David Sylvian is made remarks that the part of the transition was felt in the directionality that should be aimed at this time. The method of the challenge and the expression to music with oneself who has them revolutionize it from "Rock Star" to "Artist" to say nothing of those thought might be contained. The music that became the artist of Solo from the band by him and was expressed will have been self's exactly opening. His secret part was originally a part that was already as an expression of the activity as Solo. Of course, there was a fact to which the gap that the listener had caused with the band as an expression that he did between Solo was understood, too. However, he carried and the expression of the self in the parts other than work with various musicians and music carried enough out the function as the expressionist indeed including the idea.

Zeal to music and the expression was never lost at this time said that he was facing the transition period in the expression method. It was an act exactly done as one of the methods of the expression of the self and the joint work with Holger Czukay might have polished in the method of his expression further.

It might have been a work from which the methodology of Holger Czukay had come out a little strongly though it was an album of the joint work in "Plight&Premonition". The secret element might have given a little difficult part for the listener as an impression. However, wavelength each other was indeed reflected in the work. And, the width of the methodology that they should express is expanded further and it has coming in succession of the sound and the calculated flow in this album. And, if it is considered that the method of expressing David Sylvian has been considerably appointed in the composition of the tune and the part of production, it will be music with high quality that this album was exactly completed at the end of the joint work in this album. The composition of the overall tune is calculated indeed and has succeeded in getting rid of from a simple ambient.

The keyboard of Sylvian and Percussion of Jaki Liebezeit contribute in "Flux". The calculation of the sound and the processing of the space are given to the flow it is secret and with the anacatesthesia well. Coming in succession of guitar with transparent feeling in which tune is not obstructed. Or, the element of Flugelhorn of the wave. And, it is partial of the song. Flow of perfect guitar by Michael Caroli. These elements are expressed in union.

"Mutability" might be a tune of which the taste of the expression of David Sylvian has gone out strongly. Development where the melody not to make the listener get tired of the flow with the anacatesthesia is consecutive might be splendid. The secret expression that David Sylvian thinks about is expressed enough though doesn't sing.

It might be true that there was a revolution in the method of expressing Sylvian in work with Holger Czukay at this time. And, these expression method will be satisfactorily demonstrated in the album of the work and Rain Tree Crow with Robert Fripp.
