David Sylvian & Holger Czukay
Flux + Mutability

Where does Sylvian take us today, what new hidden world do we still have to discover? It’s all so vast and infinite, the beyond that it's impossible to make it completely ours, but with desire and willpower, we can attempt to explore the boundaries of reality, traveling every kind of ancient path of the soul, adhering to the temporal laws of sound and melody.
Two tracks
·I·  Flux  (A big, bright, colourful world) 16:52
·II· Mutability (“A new beginning is in the offing”) 21:02
An album written in collaboration with Holger Czukay, predominantly instrumental and completely ambient, a sort of ethnic, mystical, and cultural New Age of a world in transition and globally transforming.

·I·  flux (A big, bright, world in constant change)
Voices  of a daily Orient oriented towards the future, percussion and bells describe the movement of people who are always in a hurry and seeking an exit from a standard daily life, always trapped in a dense cold and humid mist, a gentle background of guitar and bass, whisper the lightness of being and the trumpet sporadically hints at glimpses of a shy autumn sun.
In this depiction of daily life, if you listen carefully to the track, David and Holger introduce a very brief but very significant shade, of religious concept but contradictory to Japanese canons and their Buddhist beliefs, that is the Christian blessing in Latin “Benedìcat Vos Omnìpotens Deus, Pater Et Fìlius Et Spìritus Sanctus", as if always to underline the hope of a cultural fusion between the East and the West, and then, I point out another detail, that is, in the title of the first track the description in the parentheses is without (“”), as to indicate a feasible, concrete, and existing reality, while in the second track, the description in the parentheses is without (“”), as to indicate an attempt at “precarious” union (this is how I interpreted the meaning of this symbolic expression manifested by David).

·II· mutability (“A new beginning is in the offing”)
It is the continuation of the flux (change) in mutation (a new life) an extraordinary and uncontaminated dream, the sensation you feel while listening is indescribable, an image of celestial paradise in a reality that daily crumbles and that suddenly becomes inside the body, one single thing, a heart, a soul, a spirit.
Sitting cross-legged and feeling the body become light as a feather, feeling emptied and released from every earthly weight, feeling so well, where everything is elsewhere in a mystical world and nothing scares you anymore.  
This  second track is of notable progressive expression for the sound effects, David’s keyboards  and Jaki’s flute  personify everything that is not tangible, 21 minutes of total trance and every time I listen to it, it’s a personally unforgettable experience, you truly have the opportunity to alienate from everything surrounding you to embrace the mother happiness filled with perpetual peace that you never want to end, but never, ever.
Sylvian, embodiment of asceticism, perfectionist of simple spiritual and emotional purity, is a transcendently ethereal man.
