Product Description

CD Description

A one-off project of such extraordinary depth it's a crime no sequel materialised. This regrouping of Japan under a Southwest noir name eclipses the majority of the band's fine back catalogue. RAIN TREE CROW is hallucinogenic, surreal, mysterious, yet powerful. The vignettes herein tell tales of isolated desert regions pockmarked by loneliness and climatic upheaval, of landscapes barren save for the husks of rusty car skeletons and cattle skulls.
Multi-instrumentalist/vocalist David Sylvian, keyboardist Richard Barbieri, percussionist Steve Jansen and bassist Mick Karn are some of the mostadroit musicians in modern music. These moments of brittle rock, fractured "progressive" blues, and supple experimentation remain wholly unique. Restrained yet inventive songscapes such as the beautiful "Pocket Full of Change" and "Every Colour You Are" are balanced against evocative instrumentals such as "Red Earth". Sylvian's rich baritone is given free expressive reign in compositions rich with somber, sienna-toned electronics, forlorn guitars, delicate percussive accents, and basslines stretched tight across parched gulches. Immerse yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars stand near a rainy window and look deep and moody., 27 May 2008
definately not one to put on when you're doing something boring.
this commands your full attention.mellow,sparse,almost ambient in nature.
Lay back and give it your full attention.
An ultra-tight rythm section play just enough to compliment Sylvian's haunting vocal.Mick Karn is a bass playing legend,and this performance is a masterclass in not showboating your talent,and the gaps sound as cool as the notes!
the songs evoke imagery of vast,barren landscapes,yet remain beautiful but sombre in tone.This matches ANY Japan album.A lifetime favourite.
