“DAVID SYLVIAN Weatherbox (Rare 1989 UK deluxe 5-CD box set spanning David's career and his many collaborations. Includes the releases: Brilliant Trees, Alchemy, Gone To Earth, Gone To Earth - Instrumental [Exclusive to this box set] and Secrets Of The Beehive. Also includes a 60 page booklet which documents each release and all the musicians involved plus fold-out poster. The artwork and design is by Russell Mills and Dave Coppenhall with sliding lid on the top of the box. The accompanyment by the likes of Bill Nelson, Sakamoto, Jansen/Barbierri/Karn, Russell Mills, Robert Fripp, Michael Brooks et al bears testimony to just how many TALENTED ARTISTS are influenced and eager to work w/ Mr. Sylvian.”

“One of the major collector items available. The box itself is a piece of art (design by Russell Mills) and with the 5 CD retrospective it's the ultimate object on the mantelpiece of the David Sylvian collector. Each CD has a new artwork inlay, combined with printed artwork on the jewel-case itself, which gives a complete new image. Printed above are the inlays itself (no jewel-case artwork included).
Besides the CD's, there's a poster and a booklet with credits and liner notes. The Japanese edition has an extra Japanese booklet (superior to the domestic version if you ask me). The 5 CD's are: Brilliant Trees, Alchemy (Words With the Shaman, The Stigma Of Childhood (Kin), A Brief Conversation Ending In Divorce and Steel Cathedrals), Gone To Earth, Gone To Earth instrumental and
Secrets Of The Beehive (without Forbidden Colours or Promise).”
