    Good Points: As with all of David Sylvian's work, the Vocals are very Polished and seem to Flow So Easily , as with Japan + other Solo Projects - (e.g. Ryuichi Sakamoto - ex YMO) -
    The obvious choice is the track "Red Guitar" as this was a Single.
    The Album actually sounds very much like how "Japan" - would have progressed, if slightly more Avant Garde.....after "Tin Drum"


    Bad Points: It cannot be classed as a "bad album" - just a natural progression of an artist without his former band members (apart from his brother Steve Jansen on drums))


    General comments: David Sylvian's Brilliant Trees is a "Far cry" from the following Album (Secrets of the Beehive), which is far more polished and lyrically, accomplished than this Album. But, missing this album would be a huge mistake. The jump from Japan to the 2nd solo album (Secrets of the Beehive) - make a lot more sense after listening to this album...........!!
    It would be like Jumping from Japan's - Obscure Alternatives- to - Gentlemen Take Polaroids...........The Gap would be to Vast , and the Progression Missed.
    A must have album, for Sylvian Fans
    (The Orig .CD Version of "Beehive" , having the bonus track of a Sylvian/Sakamoto , collaboration / reworking of "Forbidden Colours")
    Beautiful in its "Space and Simplicity" - much more "Low Key" than the original (Merry Xmas Mr Lawrence - Version) - the drums on this track are superb , and the whole track is much simpler
