David Sylvian

Label: samadhi sound
Genre: Electronic, Experimental, Slowcore

I have a couple confessions to make. First, I feel asleep during a U2 concert. I've never been a big fan. I respect the band tremendously, but their music, and that concert in particular, just don't do it for me. My second confession: I cried at a David Sylvian concert. Not that I wept out loud or anything, but his voice, its rich timbre, literally brought tears to my eyes. He has a long musical history, beginning with the band Japan, then his solo work. The first track, "Mothlight," is an ambient piece composed as an accompanyment to a group of photographs. The remaining tracks include vocals and give a better sense of David Sylvian's well-honed craft.
