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 Sylvianâs solo stuff came out Iâd moved on to different things and didnât hear Brilliant Trees until I was nearly 40, and that led me right back into playing my Japan LPs again.

I fucking love her music. This song is so beautiful. Proper listening sessions with this album always have me in tears with itâs beauty:
Solo version of Ghosts and short interview as Japan were breaking up.

Slovak Human League cover with what appears to be Les Dawsonâs MiniMe on sax.
Not quite the same without wilko,but love that you could so close to the band without security going nuts.
Both of them; playing together:

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
Great version of Life during wartime @ 13:45
