Recorded in part at The Manor in Oxfordshire with producer Steve Nye, it reached No. 24 on the UK album chart and shows Sylvian pushing beyond art-pop into something more meditative, textural, and inward-looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the record so absorbing is the way those two sides of Sylvian's writing sit together without blurring into one mood. The vocal material includes some of his most shadowed and melodic songs, while the instrumental half opens out into long-form, atmospheric pieces that feel exploratory rather than decorative. Themes of personal reflection sit alongside interests in Gnosticism and alchemy, giving the album a distinctly searching character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast helps explain the album's unusual range. Robert Fripp and Bill Nelson both contribute guitar, with further input from Steve Jansen and Kenny Wheeler, and the result is a record that moves easily between experimental rock, ambient drift, and carefully sculpted songcraft. This remastered edition brings back one of Sylvian's most ambitious solo releases in its full two-LP form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP, Coloured Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eThese dreamy, atmospheric works have nice musical support from Steve Nye, Kenny Wheeler, and Mel Collins.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/gone-to-earth-mw0000650859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAllMusic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eGone to Earth is more essential.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/david-sylvian-secrets-of-the-beehive-brilliant-trees-alchemy-an-index-of-possibilities-gone-to-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/david-sylvian-vinyl-records\"\u003eDavid Sylvian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Integral, Virgin EMI Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/electronic-vinyl-records\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract\"\u003eAbstract\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ambient\"\u003eAmbient\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/art-rock\"\u003eArt Rock\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/downtempo\"\u003eDowntempo\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/experimental\"\u003eExperimental\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Sylvian+Taking+The+Veil\"\u003eTaking The Veil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Sylvian+Laughter+\u0026amp;+Forgetting\"\u003eLaughter \u0026amp;Amp;
