#NowPlaying @davidsylvian.bsky.social’s magnificent “Brilliant Trees” album, released on this day in 1984, so 41 years ago. Where did the years go? This is one of my favourite (and most played) albums of all time. Tonight, I will be drowning in my nostalgia. #80s #80sAlbums #DavidSylvian #MusicSky

#Top10DavidSylvian unranked When Love Walks In: Mick Karn ft. David Sylvian (1986) From Mick's second solo album Dreams Of Reason Produce Monsters. The second of two songs featuring David, unlike Buoy this wasn't released as a single but easily could have been. youtu.be/gMvlEyWpjdA?...

#Top10DavidSylvian I Day 4 (unranked, chronological) Pop Song (1989) (album: single release preceding the Weathebox collection) Angular, at times awkward, but at all times really melodic and playful. Just what you want from a (leftfield) pop song. A lovely bookmark to a very productive 1980s 👌

7 | #Top10Japan | 🍜 Rhodesia | Obscure Alternatives | 1978 Not oft seen as a political outfit, Japan was Punk as the Pistols. Sylvian, teeth bare, against a jagged Reggae stomp, razor blade guitars, & Karn's 🔥 Funk. A satirical molotov of colonial critique, both dangerous & dreamy. 🏴

Developed a 7" double pack obsession that may end up requiring therapeutic intervention. #weekendsingles Don't know if the signature is genuine, bought off @discogsofficial.bsky.social and the seller mentioned it, but hadn't bumped up the price.
