Niente tour europeo per David Sylvian , L'ex anima dei Japan è stato vittima di un infortunio alla schiena che lo costringerà a saltare il tour. "Implausible Beauty 2012", il cui debutto era previsto il 1° Marzo in Italia, sarà riprogrammato entro breve. David Sylvian ha subito un infortunio alla schiena che è causa di forte dolore e limita sostanzialmente la sua mobilità, al punto che al momento è impensabile che possa viaggiare o esibirsi in alcun modo. Sylvian avrebbe [...]

Han pasado varios meses desde el terremoto y tsunami que azotó Japón a principios de este año dejando numerosas pérdidas humanas y materiales. Pero, aunque las noticias sobre su recuperación ya no aparezcan en los titulares de los medios noticiosos, esto no significa que la zona se encuentre totalmente recuperada o que el tiempo de ofrecer ayuda haya pasado. La causa es además muy cercana al corazón de Kazu Makino , vocalista de Blonde Redhead pues de hecho la cantante nació en Kioto, Japón, algo que seguramente le ha permitido observar [...]

Dopo quasi cinque anni, le sue ultime performance live sono del 2007, David Sylvian ha deciso di tornare in tour.

Quattro concerti che fin d'ora si annunciano come quattro grandi eventi con uno dei più creativi [...]
De man en zijn omfloerste stemgeluid. David Sylvian – veel eigenzinniger heb je ze niet in de hedendaagse muziekwereld – is een zachtaardige geweldenaar met een prachtig warme melancholische stem die me elke weer keihard in de ziel raakt. Zelfs...
Dan Barrett's music plays like a spectre in the night, most effective to the highly attentive and surveyors of the smallest details. It's something that exists and has its hand on your shoulder. Your reason for ignoring it has nothing to do with the light ethereal touch, but rather that it may trigger thoughts that [...]

Dreams of the Things that are Inside My Dreams, Volume One, Part Two Untitled, Kohei Yoshiyuki; 1972 What makes the work extraordinary are the many levels of voyeurism expressed or implied. Yoshiyuki has trained his camera on his countrymen as an African wildlife photographer might track lions by moonlight, or Jacques Cousteau might descend in a bathysphere to study unusual creatures on the ocean floor. The general tone here is amazed but also tender, one of wonder at what a [...]

David Sylvian / Ryuichi Sakamoto: Bamboo Houses (12" version) And the '00 remix from David Sylvian's Everything and Nothing compilation. Might as well place these tunes back to back with Emmett's Haruomi Hosono post to extend the YMO tangent. Please enjoy.

Het laatste album van David Sylvian – Manafon – is sinds ik mijn bevindingen op deze site ventileerde alleen maar gegroeid. Een hoogtepunt in zijn al lange carrière misschien wel, dat uitblinkt in minimalisme. Antimuziek, dat desondanks overeind blijft vanwege Sylvian's unieke voordracht en ingenieuze speldenprikken in de achtergrond. Een vervolg heeft zodoende te maken met hooggespannen verwachtingen. Maar mag Died In The Wool wel een echte opvolger heten? Het bevat voornamelijk variaties op nummers van Manafon, plus een aantal nieuwe stukken die voortborduren op hetzelfde thema, hierbij [...]

David Sylvian will be releasing Died in the Wool — variations on David Sylvian's 2009 release...
Third solo album from ex-Japan main man.

Esce il 23 maggio Died in the Wool — variazioni su quello che è a tutt'oggi l'ultimo lavoro da studio di David Sylvian , ovvero Manafon . Died in the Wool è una riscrittura completa di quel lavoro e può considerarsi a tutti gli effetti un nuovo album; è coinvolto negli arrangiamenti un compositore del livello di Dai Fujikura , produttori come Jan Bang e Erik Honoré e un roster ricchissimo di improvvisatori e musicisti contemporanei. Il CD sarà doppio e il secondo disco, intitolato When we return you won't [...]

Tweet From London town they come with their blend of synth and sass and a whole mess of what made post-punk the wondrous art form it became. Allow me to introduce you to Savage Furs. The latest act to blow my mind properly. I've been playing their brand new self-titled debut EP incessantly since receiving it in my inbox. Imagine a singer with the looks of a young Billy Idol and the voice of a young David Sylvian singing over danceable rhythms [...]

There are some artists who have had a significant presence in pop while staying very much in the shadows. One of these would be Virginia Astley, whose discography is (mostly) unavailable and in any case entirely obscure to most followers of pop. Born to Edwin (Ted) Astley in 1959, he of "The Saint" and "Danger Man" themes, Virginia found herself in a musical family. Her elder sister Karen married Pete Townshend and her brother Jon was a noted producer and mastering engineer. Taking up piano and then flute, Virginia's initial recorded output was as keyboard player with Victims [...]

"I´m a plumb fool ´bout Ida Red..." One more eclectic, hand picked six pack for your to chew on. Bob Wills swings Western with his Playboys, New York´s Marbles take the powerpop route, while former Japan frontman David Sylvian weaves a red dreamscape. Henry Thomas whistles the blues, my fave Aussies the Triffids deal in horses, and Canadian punks the Diodes cover the Cyrkle. Like what you hear? Buy the featured albums for further exploration. Can´t be beat. Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys - Ida Red MP3 Marbles - [...]

La triste noticia de que Mick Karn , ex-bajista de Japan padecía de cancer avanzado, llegó de sorpresa a los medios internacionales hace unos meses. Ahora, en su página oficial se confirma: el bajista ha fallecido a los 52 años, dejando tras de sí un legado importante en la música pop de todos los tiempos. Mick, cuyo nombre real fue Anthony Michaelides, comenzó su carrera en su natal inglaterra a principios de los 70, en el género que todos los jóvenes de la época se sentían afines: el punk y el tecno-pop con influencias tan diversas [...]
