Noted. Since I've checked tons of Sylvian I thought I'd give Ryuichi a try someday.

I like Summer Nerves. But yeah I think Left Handed Dream is one of my least favorites of his. I think a good place to start with Sakamoto is his 1980s work with David Sylvian, and Chasm. Chasm might still be my favorite Sakamoto release overall. The sounds of a future yet to come.

Also, B-2 Unit and LHD are wonderful excursions into experimental electronic music, and has some big names involved as well (Andy Partridge, Adrian Belew, etc.)



It's like a set of a new waver's dream albums.

omg @ johnny



MCML is great but Forbidden Colours is one of those untouchable pop songs. Everybody should know it.

Fripp, am I right in hearing some heavy vibes of Messiaen's Louange A L'Eternité De Jesus in Ubi?

this album is incredible. I went from getting anxiety from the spoken word in fullmoon to holding back tears from the spoken word in life, life

Just read he got diagnosed again, this time with bowel cancer :[

Pretty savage twist of fate given the hell he went through the first time and how he charted it on here. Hope he sweats it out again this time around
