I love David Sylvian, full stop. From the dream art-funk of Japan to the ambient neo-pop of <em>Gone to Earth</em> and his more recent experimental leanings. He's one of the great long range artists that has continued to be interesting as well as engaging rather than dulled by time. Across all his releases, my wife, myself and even our 8 year old daughter have reserved a special listening place for <em>Secrets of the Beehive</em> and it's siren song 'Orpheus'. It conjures such vivid images via melody and lyrical play alone that it would seem an uphill task to put vision to it, yet here we are. This video holds so much back and gives so much more in return. It is all about nostalgia and memory. It is about taking the non-prescriptive approach and instead speaking to the unquantifiable aspects of the song. In many way this is akin to a sepia version of <a title="Kenneth Anger" href="http://www.kennethanger.org/" target="_blank">Kenneth Anger</a>'s stunning 1953 short film <a title="Eau d'Artifice" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2UU-B0Uf8E" target="_blank"><em>Eau d'Artifice</em></a> and has much in common with that films suggestion versus telling approach. Brilliant.
