'Brilliant Trees' the excellent debut album by the enigmatic David Sylvian An album of two differing musical sides. Side 1 has the brilliant 'Pulling Punches' & 'Red Guitar' and a more ambient side 2. Love him s solo work post #DavidSylvian #JapanBand

As ABC once said “When Smokey sings, I hear violins”
A great song by Smokey. I also love Japan’s cover version of it. David Sylvian’s vocals are 🎯👌

A rare opportunity to own two of Mick Karn's clarinets, which were used on Japan's Oil On Canvas, Dalis Car's The Waking Hour and other releases
The clarinets come with a letter of authenticity from Mick’s family

Released on this day in 1980, Japan’s great cover version of a classic Smokey Robinson song. David Sylvian’s voice👌
I love the original version too. As ABC once said “When Smokey sings, I hear violins” 🎯👌
