Посмотреть сведения об участниках альбома, рецензии, композиции и приобрести альбом Arvato CD от Alchemy An Index Of Possibilities на Sylvians first four solo albums, newly reissued on vinyl, exude an intense but ambiguous loneliness. I wrestle with an outlook on life that shifts between darkness and shadowy light, he sings during his most forthright song, Orpheus. Throughout these records, he does battle-with his outlook, with his past, with his expectations. His next two releases-the entirely instrumental Alchemy: An Index of Possibilities and the double album Gone to Earth-are more transitional. The former is a strange hodgepodge of collaborations and soundtrack material.

David Sylvians debut studio album Brilliant Trees 1984 was a good album that sounded a lot like the last couple of Japan albums but with a world music influence. The music on Brilliant Trees was centered around Davids warm and deeply emotional vocal style. The first thing you notice when listening to Alchemy - An Index of Possibilities is the total lack of vocals with the exception of a few samples and background chants. David Sylvians warm and beautiful vocals does not appear at any time during the 48:41 minutes the album lasts. So this is an almost totally instrumental album. The music is generally very ambient and repetitive. Listen free to David Sylvian Alchemy - An Index Of Possibilities Preparations for a Journey, Steel Cathedrals. 2 tracks 22:41
