Everything and Nothing is a compilation album by David Sylvian. Released in October 2000, the album contains previously released and unreleased, re-recorded, and alternate versions of tracks from Sylvian's twenty years with Virgin Records. The record peaked at no.57 in the UK albums chart.[5]

It was released in two versions. A standard 2CD jewel case (CDVD 2897) and (in the UK) as a limited edition 3CD digipak (CDVDX 2897).

In addition to tracks from Sylvian's solo career and earlier with the group Japan ("Ghosts"), the album also includes previously unreleased material ("Some Kind of Fool", "The Scent of Magnolia", "Ride" and "Cover Me with Flowers" among others) along with collaborations ("Bamboo Houses" and "Heartbeat" with Ryuichi Sakamoto and "Buoy" with Mick Karn). The songs "Come Morning" and "Golden Way" were taken from the 1995 album Marco Polo by the World music duo Nicola Alesini & Pier Luigi Andreoni, on which Sylvian provided vocals for three of the songs.

"Thoroughly Lost to Logic", a piece written 1991, contained Sylvian reading a poem, which appeared on Sakamoto's composition "Salvation" from his work "Discord" released in 1998.[6][7] This version was completed 2000.

Four tracks on the album were recorded during the making of Sylvian's 1999 album Dead Bees on a Cake but did not make the final cut on the album. The compilation additionally derives its title from a line in the Dead Bees on a Cake song "Thalheim".
