    It's his weakest recording to date. Far too self indulgent - something which comes about because he's working with much less contribution from other musicians than normal. He's at his strongest when guiding a cohort of great musicians, as demonstrated on Secrets of the Beehive, Dead Bees on a Cake, Gone to Earth ..... in fact, ALL his other 'solo' efforts.

    Blemish is not sadness or happiness; it is strange observation and relapse.

    Much sparser and looser than we are used to from David Sylvian. [Sep 2003, p.101]

    An extremely moving and potentially radical record. [Sep 2003, p.99]
