The authentic artist treats and understands their talents as spiritual gifts, enabling self illumination and a seer-like ability to see the world as a revelatory phenomena. Artists of any real stature exemplify and embody such a capacity and use it to focus our minds on what is of truly enduring worth. David Sylvian is such an artist.
My respect, admiration and love only grow towards this man. He is utterly true to his art and to the muses that sustain his artistry. He is quite simply an outstanding human being.
If the album had come under the title of 'Japan' it would have been a greater hit. But as they say a principle isn't a principle until it cost you money. That said, he is quite brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this.
Nice find! Am just uploading my rips of 'The Ink In The Well' & 'Silver Moon' from the Weatherbox promo VHS - should be finished in about an hour from . . . now!
What a well thought, well spoken artist he is. I'm very pleased I was able to seem him in his element, and yet so natural.

Fantastic! Articulate as usual, but more so.
I love his answer at the end. A ridiculous question well met by an incredible answer.
