Review

Rolling Stone (2/15/01, pp.75,78) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...Illuminating....previously unreleased gems should satiate devotees and even evoke wistful memories of the [eighties]..."
Q (12/00, p.152) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...At its best the music has a haunting melancholy all of its own....This compilation pretty much renders any other Sylvain back catalog purchase redundant..."
The Wire (10/00, p.68) - "...What emerges so strongly is evidence of gradual development over time...ultimately leading to a stage of maturity....a major-minor miracle..."

Product note

Personnel includes: David Sylvian (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, electric piano, organ, keyboards, synthesizer, programming, loops, sound effects); Ingrid Chavez (vocals); Ryuichi Sakamoto (arranger, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Hammond B-3 organ, synthesizer, marimba, programming, samples); Steve Tibbetts, Mark Ribot (acoustic & electric guitars); Phil Palmer (acoustic guitar & slide guitars); David Torn (electric guitar); Bill Frisell (guitar, dobro); Bill Nelson, Rob Dean, Robert Fripp (guitar); Arturo Stalteri (bouzouki); Damiano Puliti (cello); Lawrence Feldman (flute); Nicola Alesini (clarinet, soprano saxophone, keyboards, programming); Mel Collins (soprano saxophone); Mick Karn (alto & tenor saxophones, keyboards, bass, background vocals).
Producers include: David Sylvian, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Rain Tree Crow, Steve Nye, David Bottrill.
Compilation producer: David Sylvian.
Engineers include: Dave Kent, Lolly Gardner, Pat McCarthy.
Recorded between 1980 and 2000.
EVERYTHING AND NOTHING is a two-disc set of "best of" tracks from David Sylvian's career (including some with former band Japan), previously unreleased recordings, and re-recorded or otherwise alternate versions of other tracks (initial copies also included a third disc of remixes and further alternate versions). Most collections spanning such a length of time (20 years!) are spotty at best, but Sylvian's career has been unusually consistent, both in terms of direction and quality, and EVERYTHING AND NOTHING is guided by a clarity of vision absent from most compilations. Listening to it is more like hearing a new David Sylvian record than a random sampling from his catalogue. HIghlights include the usual suspects; "Blackwater," "Ghosts," and "Godman," all standouts on the albums from which they were culled. Alongside those tracks, though, is the true meat of the collection. Among the best are the breathtaking "The Scent of Magnolia," "Some Kind of Fool"--recorded for Japan's seminal GENTLEMEN TAKE POLAROIDS album but unfinished at the time--and an alternate version of "Weathered Wall" (from BRILLIANT TREES) that far and away outstrips the original. An essential purchase for Sylvian fans.
