"Maybe you think that love will tie you down

And you don't seem to like to hang around

Or maybe you think that love was made for fools

So it makes you wise to break the rules"

One has to reinvent oneself more often than usual in order to become a musician with a penchant for shocking detours and weird surprises. However, you can also reach a point, where you can only stop. For instance, David Sylvian is apparently retired and despite me being saddened over this, I respect his choice. I agree what some have said, i.e. he noticed he cannot go further in his soundscapes, so he decided to silence himself. Still, he always set himself for this path. I mean, Gone To Earth, the album I almost posted in full here, was the true Rubicon of his career. While the disc lacks the radical break of Blemish, you do observe a tendency of him doing things his own way, he already showed some their false reading of Brilliant Trees.

Bob Dylan's quite mercurial and … what is this?  Are we ready for another edition of the trailblazers that didn't wish to be seen in this vein? Yes and no, I would say, many musicians I plan to discuss were already told about here, yet I think we need to mention them again. They have sort of established themselves as themselves alone. Sure, some of them got a type of success many could only dream, whereas some stayed within their own cults. However, they all remained interested at most of their times, including their failures. I mean, David Sylvian, for instance, has a certain something I'm unsure how to define. When he decides to do something, he goes all the way. There are no half measures with him, if you allow me to misquote a famous TV show.
