Product Description
Rain Tree Crow includes: David Sylvian (vocals); Steven Jansen (guitar).
All tracks have been remastered.
A one-off project of such extraordinary depth it's a crime no sequel materialized. This regrouping of Japan under a Southwest noir name eclipses the majority of the band's fine back catalog. 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 most adroit 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.
