    This compilation may primarily be valuable for illustrating the full length and breadth of Sylvian's musical progression.

    As a portrait of a great artist who has never stopped progressing and carving a niche that is equal parts challenging, enjoyable and moving, it does a brilliant job.

    Throughout, Sylvian's songs retain their peculiar emotional coloration, of tension bubbling just under the surface.

    A Victim of Stars is a fine testament to Sylvian's artistry, but by all means new listeners shouldn't stop there.
