'''''Camphor''''' is a [[David Sylvian]] compilation album released in 2002 as a companion to ''[[Everything and Nothing]]''. The focus is on his [[instrumental]] work.
==Background==
Line 36:
In "The Song Which Gives the Key to Perfection" Sylvian sings a chapter from a Hindu holy text. It is sung in the original Sanskrit from the book called ‘[[Devi Mahatmya|Chandi Path]]’.
Various tracks appear either remixed<ref>{{Cite web |last=admin |date=2015-03-14 |title=Camphor (2-disc advanced promo) |url=https://www.davidsylvian.net/promotional/albums-promo/camphor-2-disc-advanced-promo/ |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=David Sylvian : Expect Everything And Nothing Less |language=en-US}}</ref> or in shortened versions: "Wave" has been cut to the last segment of the original song which omits the vocal parts. New original sounds orchestrated by [[Simon Jeffes]] were added. "Mother and Child (remix)" has vocal replaced by trumpet and the music was sampled and remixed by [[Jan Bang]] and [[Erik Honoré]]. "Upon This Earth" is shorter. The first two minutes were cut, so [[Robert Frost]] poem "The Foreboding" is no longer heard and pitch is changed.<ref>{{Cite
It was released in two versions
