The Good Son vs. The Only Daughter (The Blemish Remixes) is a remix album by David Sylvian featuring new versions of tracks from his previous album Blemish.[3] Despite the title, not all the pieces have been remixed; some songs have been re-recorded with new musicians.[4]
Background
[edit]In a interview with Pitchfork in 2005, Sylvian explained he wished to give the album a new dimension through the variety of sounds that the remixes offered: "It’s sort of stretched between the States, Europe, and Japan… what we’re listening to, what we’re watching, what we’re reading– it can have very little to do with one’s immediate cultural environment."[5]
