Sylvian & Czukay – Plight & Premonition / Flux & Mutability – 2LP

Grönland Records is happy to announce the reissue of one of ambient music’s hidden gems, by two unique musicians (David Sylvian and Holger Czukay) whose paths originally crossed in the early-eighties while working on Sylvian’s debut solo album, ‚Brilliant Trees‘.

Having been out of print for some time, the parallels between the original release 30 years ago and now are quite stark; at the time of recording the Cold War was lifting – but still very real – after a bitter winter. The names „Plight & Premonition“ and „Flux & Mutability“ themselves hint at an instability. In Sylvian’s words, the sessions seemed to touch on something: “A form of music that seemed to have been created while we were absent by instruments abandoned to the earth and the woods, sounded by the coarse winter elements.”
