Album Notes Personnel includes: David Sylvian, Derek Bailey, Christian Fennesz. Recorded in February 2003. Multi-instrumentalist/wordsmith/auteur Sylvian is joined here by avant garde jazz guitar hero Derek Bailey for one of the most adventurous outings of his already adventerous career. Cut in 2003, his 12th album isn't the kind of thing you "get" on the first listen, but stick with it and the rewards are myriad.
Editorial Reviews Included in Wire's 50 Records Of The Year [2003] - [M]oving beyond all expectations. The Wire (01/01/2004)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Astonishingly and brilliantly, three tracks find him working with improv god Derek Bailey....An extremely moving and potentially radical record... Uncut (09/01/2003)
Ranked #33 in Uncut's Albums Of The Year 2003 Uncut (01/01/2004)
3 stars out of 5 - The music on BLEMISH is much sparser and looser than we are used to from David Sylvian...It works. Sylvian sounds anything but intimidated by Bailey... Mojo (09/01/2003)
