David Torn (Guitar) is always great, but I prefer Fripp's playing in this song. It's my all time favorite, thanks for posting!

OOoooooooohhh Shiiitt!! TeeHeeTeeHeeeeHeeee! Check it out, Ian Maidman is now known as Jennifer Maidman- check the Japansylvian website under the general discussion section. There is a link to his new website, earthmusic, with a picture of him in his new persona of 'Jennifer'. TeeHeeeeee, too funny- No Joke. He is now a tranny, seriously! XoD

[Stick3x]

Karn would have played this different, he is my fav but you can tell Ian has more of a musical vocabulary. In other words he knows what he is doing and is more versatile where as Mick just had that unique style to himself. Both outstanding bassists. R.I.P. Mick:)

[dumdumfriend]

Great song! Love that MR. MICK KARN influence on this track, it would have been a teal treasure seeing him in this performance. By the way the DOLPHIN BROTHERS ROCK!

[HumanJarv]

As soon as I head this album.. David Sylvian lifted a lot of Mick Karn sound for this track. Hmmmm.

[29Bosch]

It's a funny thing! I remember ToRn saying that "full two handed tapping was an athletic event HE had no time to train for" yet he taps through out the tune. Hummm

Grazie...

I know this has no relevence to the music, but I have seen some recent pictures and performances of David Torn, and MY GOD what a fat huge old fart he has turned into. 20 years does a lot to a man, and it really makes you think. Not that he looked good in these younger years either, but Christ what a dramatic deterioration!! But no offence!! - he is definately a fine musician! ;) Take it easy!!!

[14me14u]

Deep into David's mindscape...

[lemonyellow7]

ditto: to it

'Grooves like an orgasm'

[safetheory]

Ian Maidman killer...

Shame Fripp is not here

[migawilo]

WOW

I was waiting for this recording since years.

The show was "Doc" broadcasted every afternoon on Raidue, a programme created by Renzo Arbore.

Thank you for posting it!!!

Ian Maidman on fretless bass.

[hopsa65]

true, but who is he? not trey gun.(new king crimson bass/stick player), not danny thomson (talk talk)?

i dunno? help!

cheers

[christophsoft]

I simply can't believe how AMAZING this is!!!!

[mlpoulter]

Karn and Maidman are both bass geniuses, and this is one of my favourite songs of all time, so thanks to the uploader.

[soja1188]

The guy is ian maidman. Yes, he plays it very much in a karn manner. (Bassline, slide style and so on) But the soun dis more like palladinp imho.

And yes, great stuff in any way. The whole "band" grooves like one organism.

[debrajallreus]

Sorry! My mistake!

He sounds a lot like Mick.

Regardless, great stuff!

[soja1188]

@debrajallreus: with the notable fact that isnt Mick that plays bass here

[silmalila]

Sylvian and co. sound better live than most bands do in the studio.

Lovely!

Thanks for posting.

This song is ingrained in my memory: there was one winter we were snowed in, and i put together a six' by five' jigsaw puzzle while listening to Sylvian and sipping Cognac...

It would have been a real drag without Sylvian!

[debrajallreus]

Beyond brilliant! David has to be one the most original artists around. The jazzy, asian influence sounds so amazing!

I especially love Mick Karn on bass...very impressive!!!!

[boothfenn]

brilliant stuff,saw him on this tour,awesome band

[mke35]

one of my favorite Sylvian songs...along with a very young david torn!! great...
