In the early eighties while working on Sylvian’s debut solo album, ‚Brilliant Trees‘, we are happy to announce the release of one of Ambassador’s Hidden Gems. In 1986, David Sylvian – of British Art Pop Band Japan – and Holger Czukay – founding member and bassist in legendary German Cosmic Band Can – were ostensibly reconvening for Sylvian to record a vocal for Czukay’s forthcoming album ‚Rome Remains Rome‘. But on arriving at Czukay’s studio – a former cinema in Cologne – Sylvian began playing freeform, improvising on readily available instruments located in the studio itself. No sooner had Sylvian, on any instrument he’d been applying himself, start to structurally define / refine the performance Czukay would stop the recording he’d surreptitiously making. Czukay attempted to capture the process of creation without a musician’s inclination for refinement. This process, drawn out over two nights, gave birth to the duo’s first, full-fledged, collaboration, ‚Plight and Premonition‘.
Having been out of print for some time, the parallels between the original release 30 years ago and now are quite strong; At the time of the Cold War was lifting – but still very real – after a bitter winter. The names „Plight & Premonition“ and „Flux & Mutability“ are just after instability. In Sylvian’s words, the statements seemed to be touched on something: „A form of music has seemed to have been created while we were absent by instruments, to the earth and the woods, sounded by the coarse winter elements.“
The version of ‚Plight and Premonition‘ included here is a new mix by Sylvian from 2002. All the recordings have been fully remastered.

One of the most influential soul singers of the 1960s, Otis Redding exemplified to many listeners the power of Southern “deep soul” — hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads. He was also the most consistent exponent of the Stax sound, cutting his records at the Memphis label/studios that did much to update R&B into modern soul. His death at the age of 26 was tragic not just because he seemed on the verge of breaking through to a wide pop audience (which he would indeed do with his posthumous number one single “[Sittin’ On] The Dock of the Bay”). It was also unfortunate because, as “Dock of the Bay” demonstrated, he was also at a point of artistic breakthrough in terms of the expression and sophistication of his songwriting and singing.
