  1. hector zazou w/david sylvian – a victim of stars

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nka2JRGfnPQ

    Words are blinded and the bows released
    lights tiny arrows pierce the moon
    I turned the tallow in the hand of sleep
    A victim of stars for want of a room

    I raised the boat in a sea of sound
    Astonished
    Absolutely spellbound

    A hungry heart in the house of bread
    stoned in anger at the garden fence
    Hung from elms and shot with lead
    A victim of stars without defence

    I raised the boat in a sea of sound
    Astonished
    Absolutely spellbound.

    Worte sind geblendet und die Bögen gespannt, Lichter, winzige Pfeile durchbohren den Mond. Ich drehte das Talg in der Hand des Schlafes, Ein Opfer der Sterne, weil mir ein Zimmer fehlte. Ich hob das Boot empor in einem Meer aus Klängen, Erstaunt, Völlig verzaubert Ein hungriges Herz im Haus des Brotes In Wut an den Gartenzaun gesteinigt An Ulmen aufgehängt und mit Blei erschossen Ein wehrloses Opfer der Sterne Ich hob das Boot in einem Meer aus Klängen empor Erstaunt Völlig verzaubert.

    The Banality Of Evil

  8. Jednorázové znovusetkání #Japan pod názvem #RainTreeCrow nepřineslo návrat k minulosti, ale tichý improvizovaný experiment. Album z roku 1991 je jedním z těch nenápadných pokladů, které se v šumu dějin ztratily – a přitom mají zvláštní sílu.

  11. Sylvian, Karn, Barbieri a Jansen na albu Tin Drum vytvořili nejčistší podobu svých hudebních vizí. Čína není země, ale sen: kaligrafie zvuků, ticha a vnitřních obrazů. A právě v tom okamžiku přestali existovat.

  12. Z archivu tentokrát nabízím představení jedné z mých nejoblíbenějších gramodesek.
    David Sylvian vždycky působil, jako by byl ve světě jen na návštěvě. Secrets of the Beehive není deskou, která chce být objevena. Je to album, které vyčkává. Čeká na tichý večer. Na vhodný okamžik, kdy člověk konečně vypne telefon. Na chvíli, kdy si sedne do křesla, světlo zhasne — a najednou zazní zvuk kytary nebo kornetu, který nevytváří obraz, ale otevře dveře dovnitř. Je to úl. Ne ten včelího bzukotu. Ale ten, ve kterém se ukládá světlo a teplo, aby člověk nezapomněl, že je může jednou znovu potřebovat. A právě proto album přežilo všechny své doby: protože vzniklo z pocitů, které nelžou. A protože ticho může být někdy hlasitější než jakýkoli refrén.

  13. Japan, Japan, 1982 on Epic

    Compilation album released (in the US) on Epic in 1982, bringing together most of Tin Drum plus some from Gentlemen Take Polaroids. (Neither of those was formally released in the US until 1994). I’ve got a UK Tin Drum but still looking for a good vinyl copy of Gentlemen.

    One the best underrated bands of the era – though I feel like now people have come to understand how wonderful they are. David Sulvian in particular is just a master.

    My copy—via the Worcester Record Riot—is a Terre Haute pressing.

  14. Our #SongoftheDay is "Orpheus" off of David Sylvian's classic "Secrets of the Beehive". Originally released in '87, it's an album that feels timeless, pristine, and utterly captivating.

  16. This morning's #workout #music is from David Sylvian from a 2001 tour supporting his best of compilation 'Everything and Nothing. I believe that is his brother Steve Jansen on #drums.

  17. Episode sixty-two is up now! Today's song is Forbidden Colours by David Sylvian and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

    I discuss the emotional lyrics and their religious imagery, as well as the excellent film that the song was created for.

  18. Rain Tree Crow - Rain Tree Crow

    A Japan reunion in all but name, at David Sylvian’s insistence, and unfortunately the only recording they released (save for a follow-on EP).

    It’s clear, given that Barberi, Karn and Jansen collaborated many times in various combinations between and after that the tension was with Sylvian…but, again, at least we got this great album.

    Relatively recent re-release (2019) sounds excellent.
