REISSUE. In August 1983 Sylvian was ready to record his first solo album, Brilliant Trees, at Hansa Studios in Berlin. The cast of collaborators included Sakamoto, Holger Czukay - idiosyncratic bassist with the German avant garde rock band Can - as well as two pioneering trumpet players from the experimental fringes of the jazz world, Jon Hassell and Kenny Wheeler. An element of continuity was provided by two of Sylvian's former Japan colleagues, drummer Steve Jansen and keyboard player Richard Barbieri. The poetic strength of Sylvian's lyrics and vocals was matched on these recordings by innovative arrangements which at one point featured Czukay on an IBM Dictaphone. Released in June 1984, Brilliant Trees went straight into the UK chart at number 4.
