I have never knowingly listened to a Japan or David Sylvian record.
Some things just pass you by.

Danny thompson played on two of Sylvian albums. Possibly his best two.
Brilliant trees and secrets of the beehive.

I was a latecomer to his solo stuff,but really like a lot of it

By the time Sylvian’s solo stuff came out I’d moved on to different things and didn’t hear Brilliant Trees until I was nearly 40, and that led me right back into playing my Japan LPs again.

One of the good/bad things of being young in the 70s/80s was telly shutting down at midnight and your average dope/piss head having to watch bbc 2 open university to learn Japanese or quantum physics.

But before that you could catch some weird late night entertainment

Only recently came across these guys, sadly it seems they’ve just split up. Really good UK bass music. It’s not a genre I generally love, as it too easily seems to turn into a parody of itself with silly bass-lines, but I think these guys get the balance right.

and this mix:

A bit niche admittedly but I’ve come to love the musical side of him and having Jimmy Webb as a songwriter helps but I think this is proper lost classic.

My personal barometer of a rock type artist is would they have stood up in the late 60s early 70s alongside Beatles,stones,the who, Bowie,zeppelin etc

Has to be a resounding yes for Radiohead
