David Sylvian - Depressed or What?

Posted about 4 years ago
I surrender ... and David Sylvian continues to offer proof positive that Freud's theory on Thantos wasn't that far off. Death and Sex ... Sex and Death: it's smoking hot. This one even has a hook. Maybe not his best but this jam is a nice point of entry. I suppose the amazing thing is just how many people seem to turn off when they hear Sylvian. Seems many find him difficult. Not me ... I'm surrendering.

    tjayfowler says I've never been a huge Japan or Japan-offshoot/solo stuff... you may have just shown me the open door. Thanks!

    BerkeleyBob says You might want to check out Richard Barbieri's latest, Things Buried, which is interesting instrumental ambientish. David's voice is not to everybody's taste, but the solo off-shoots of Japan got very good. Mick Karn did some instrumental albums, but Steve Jansen's (David's brother) latest was a little disappointing. (Too many vocals?) BerkBob

    tjayfowler says I forgot about Mick Karn -- the Dali's Car album is a former favorite. I'll check out Barbieri's Things Buried. Thanks for the tip.
