Alchemy-Index of Possibilities Remastered Caroline 2007. Sort: Recent best-seller. Alchemy - An Index of Possibilities is the second solo studio album from former Japan frontman David Sylvian. David Sylvian�s debut studio album Brilliant Trees (1984) was a good album that sounded a lot like the last couple of Japan albums but with a world music influence. The music on Brilliant Trees was centered around David�s warm and deeply emotional vocal style. Alchemy - An Index of Possibilities is not the natural follow up from David Sylvian and I have to say that I�m a bit impressed with David�s boldness when you think about.

David Sylvian’s first four solo albums, newly reissued on vinyl, exude an intense but ambiguous loneliness. I wrestle with an outlook on life that shifts between darkness and shadowy light, he sings during his most forthright song, Orpheus. Throughout these records, he does battle-with his outlook, with his past, with his expectations  . His next two releases-the entirely instrumental Alchemy: An Index of Possibilities and the double album Gone to Earth-are more transitional. The former is a strange hodgepodge of collaborations and soundtrack material.
