I saw Japan at their final Hammersmith Odeon gigs in 83 (got a freebie ticket). It always seemed he went from being Bryan Ferry to Brian Eno post Japan
Have you seen how many Eno-associates he's worked Robert Fripp, John Hassel, Russell Mills, Percy Jones
AND, if memory serves, how I found this lovely blog.
To follow up, 'Blemish' and the new 'Manofon' were very immediate works...less musical in a sense. Previewed 'Manofon' and I'm very intrigued. Check out davidsylvian.com.
As for the Sprouts, I LOATHED the last one...Visconti production and all. Fingers crossed however...
Perfect...every year.
ReplyDeleteThere's a new one out very soon too...
So, we'll see a new Sylvian release along with a new Prefab Sprout. Amazing!
Could almost be Kate Bush couldn't it ?
