David Sylvian’s Everything & Nothing released on vinyl for first time

Initially released in 2000, David Sylvian’s Everything & Nothing is being released on vinyl for the first time.

The 29-track triple LP is a career-spanning compilation containing previously released, unreleased, re-recorded, non-album and alternate versions of tracks from Sylvian’s 20 years with Virgin Records.

The album features key songs from David’s solo recordings, collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp, Mick Karn, Alesini & Andreoni, and tracks by Japan and Rain Tree Crow. Sylvian’s approach to the proposition of a compilation album covering his time with Virgin Record was to create an overview of the multiple directions in which his work had taken him during that period.

Focusing entirely on vocal compositions, this double album also included a wealth of previously unreleased material, including Ride from the sublime Secrets of the Beehive sessions, The Scent of Magnolia and Cover Me With Flowers from the Dead Bees On A Cake sessions, along with remixes of two of Sylvian’s Ryuichi Sakamoto collaborations’ Bamboo Houses and Heartbeat as well as a remix of Japan’s Ghosts and the unreleased Some Kind of Fool taken from Japan’s 1980 sessions for Gentleman Take Polaroids.

With its appearance on vinyl for the first time, Everything & Nothing provides a starting point for newcomers to David’s work and as a companion to the recently released 10CD set Do You Know Me Now? which explores Sylvian’s work on his own label, Samadhi Sound.
