And isn't the cover just awesomingly beautiful. What a mythical, spiritual image. Words cannot praise it enough. It's kind of sad that any words have to go over it to dilute the beauty of that moment.
Two of the tracks, The Beekeeper's Apprentice and Epiphany, have appeared before as Ember Glance, a limited edition package with book, which came out in 1991. These accompanied an installation in Tokyo of the work of the visual artist Russell Mills, one of Sylvian's long-term collaborators who designed the sleeve for the recent album Dead Bees on a Cake, as well as the Godman EP.
The third and final piece on the album is the gorgeously textured title track, a 38 minute epic which was first heard in 1994, again in Tokyo, as part of an installation of sound and images called Redemption, put together by Sylvian and Robert Fripp.
The album artwork features a photograph by Shinya Fujiwara, whose work has previously appeared on the sleeves of Dead Bees on a Cake and Rain Tree Crow.
Alternately soothing and disturbing, Approaching Silence is abstract, highly evocative and beautifully crafted.
