#Top10DavidSylvian Day 4 “There's a sadness like I never knew But I see the shining of things” The twin sister of 'Waterfront' in many ways, with R. Sakamoto’s sublime string arrangements accompanying D. Sylvian’s vocals Dead Bees On A cake (1999) The Shining of Things 🎶 youtu.be/Hx1MqsK9sGE?...

#Top10DavidSylvian 7 💿 Gone To Earth 🎶 Taking The Veil The opening track and lead single from Sylvian's third solo record is a funky number that travels at a glacial pace, yet never feels tired. It failed to break the top 50 in the UK, but it's very dear to me.

#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 👌

#Top10DavidSylvian Day 4. Never officially released, a beautiful song from the uncompleted project with Joan Wasser. If only they had finished the album and released it 🎶🙏. youtu.be/LokBc3H_k1I?...

#Top10DavidSylvian I Day 2 (unranked, chronological) Before The Bullfight (1986) (album: Gone To Earth) The mesmerising and atmospheric anchor track from David's second, featuring some quite amazing percussion from Steve, who's Slope was given a lovely shout out earlier. Richard is also present 😊

#Top10Japan 1. Alien / Quiet Life (1980) Bowing out with this, think this was a massive influence on the sound and vibe for the next couple of years. Thanks to @top10nathan.bsky.social for another fun challenge. youtu.be/tdVzXjXsjwU?...

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. 🏴

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

#NowPIaying @davidsylvian.bsky.social Secrets Of The Beehive (1987) Sublime relatively uptempo and accessible musings from David Sylvian. Such an evocative singer and builder of moods and texture. The Vaughan Oliver style cover fits the mood perfectly - always a good sign. Strong reccomend

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.
