[3] The music on Plight & Premonition is ambient, making extensive use of found sounds from a variety of non-traditional sources.

Although the album was recorded late in 1986, Sylvian and Czukay completed Premonition together quite soon after the session in February 1987.

The tracks were later remixed by Sylvian and issued on a limited bonus disc with his 2002 compilation album Camphor.

Holger Czukay actually invited me to Cologne to put a vocal on a track for an album that he was recording.

I never got to record the vocal for him because it was time for me to leave at the end of that period, but we'd come up with something far more interesting, I think, in the process.
