After all these years, the album Brilliant Trees still shines so brilliantly, David should reissue the album, with this wonderful track added!

Here's some interesting information about... "... There is one gem hidden in Sylvian’s back catalogue that remained unfinished, and was only ever released as a B-side. It does, however, remain a highly valued track by Sylvian’s fans, and also more overtly than nearly every (if not every) track that Sylvian has produced in his career, shows a clear jazz influence. This track is Blue of Noon, a track composed and recorded in the Brilliant Trees sessions in 1983, and finally released in 1987 as the B-side to Let the Happiness In from Secrets of the Beehive. Suggestion was that Sylvian planned to rework this track for the Camphor compilation album in 2002 as he felt it needed work to stand on its own two feet, but ran out of funds. The reason Blue of Noon didn’t make the cut on Brilliant Trees was that for Sylvian, it remained incomplete, his initial idea being that it would be a vocal piece. What was released was a Ryuichi Sakamoto performed piano-driven piece of jazz music upon which Sylvian doesn’t actually perform. Video of the Brilliant Trees sessions show Sylvian working with Sakamoto composing the piano “score” describing what he wanted of the piece, but the vocal was never recorded Even a sideways look at Blue of Noon shows that it fitted into the Brilliant Trees groove. As the David Sylvian biography “On the Periphery” describes, it introduced another in a long line of radical free thinkers (references to which littered the album) this time Georges Bataille, whose novel of the same title (“Le Bleu du Ciel”) was written in 1935. Bataille was a pre-eminent figure among French intellectuals at the time, being closely associated with such luminaries as Juan Miro, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst, and the philosophical and surrealist underpinnings of his work were heavily influenced by Freidrich Nietzsche. Blue of Noon remains a neglected and now quite rare track in Sylvian’s back catalogue, but it showcases the superb work that Sylvian and Sakamoto produced together. While it remains intriguing to imagine how the piece would have ended up with Sylvian’s planned vocal contribution, even in this form, it remains a beautiful piece." sylvianbiography.com/blog/

Alan and Ken: I remember to have read somewhere that this was originally meant as a vocaltrack. Outtake from brilliant trees sessions as far as I remember. But maybe David wasn't satisfied with the result. So we only got the instrumental; thus David is only responsible for the writing and probably arranging the piece.

Why the re-recorded and inferior version of Forbidden colours was included on the CD of Secrets of the beehive as opposed to this is totally beyond my comprehension. Another thing I find hard to believe is that Sylvian and Sakamoto have never made an entire album together. It would seem so obvious as they seem to bring out the best In each other. I'd like to think that people fully appreciate what a brilliant contribution Sakamoto made to SOTB and of course this here track.

Thankfully David Sylvian has now shared the priceless footage of him teaching Mr Sakamoto the classic "Blue of Noon". Got to 3 minutes in here....

YES! Just heard it for the first time (and me thinking I'd already heard every note of the Sylvian catalog) and immediately thought I'd love to try to get at least a sketch of it down on guitar. Like hearing "Laughter and Forgetting" from "Gone to Earth" and the interplay between Kenny Wheeler's Flugelhorn and John Taylor's piano, which is a Masters course in single-note lead soloing over chords.

Oustanding deep songwriting. In a way much stronger than his latest works. But I see how it did not fit into "secrets ..." - it would have broken the style of the record and I think Sylvian was very strict about that.

Don't misunderstand me; Sylvian is (partly) responsible for some of my very favourite music and it would be impossible to convey with mere words, just how important a record, Secrets of the beehive is to me. But.......you can't say that Sylvian is a musical genius to compare with the great classical composers. If anything, I believe that his "genius" lies in being able to recognise which musicians are best able to turn his basic ideas into gold, whether they be Karn, Jansen, Dean, Barbieri, Czukay, Sakamoto, Fripp, Danny Thompson, Mark Isham or Jan Bang. I believe these musicians are alchemists of sorts. P.S. I love Sylvian!
