Show 87 - Spam Spam Spam Sylvian Fripp Sylvian and Spam!

[Rick and Roll]

The dulcid tones of David Sylvian are on display this week, with an assist from the great Bob Fripp. Some of these are new to the Moon...enjoy!

from "The First Day" (Sylvian and Fripp)

God's Monkey
Jean The Birdman
Firepower
Brightness Falls
20th Century Dreaming (A Shaman's Song)
Bringing Down the Light

More aggressive sounding than his usual fare, we'll hear the entire CD except for the 17 minute, too long "Darshan" (we'll hear an edited version a bit later though). "Light" is all Frippertronics.

from singles and outtakes from "The First Day"

Damage
The First Day
Earthbound (Starblind)
The Blinding Light of Heaven
Darshan

More like his usual fare, and still with Fripp.

from "Gone To Earth"

Taking the Veil
Laughter And Forgetting
Before the Bullfight
Wave
River Man
Silver Moon
The Healing Place
Upon This Earth

"Veil" has Fripp, and is one of his most well known songs. Lots of Bill Nelson, and lots of jazz and mellow parts. A great listen.

from "Secrets From the Beehive" and "Dead Bees On A Cake"

Krishna Blue
Thalhiem
All of My Mother's Names
I Surrender
Alphabet Angel
Forbidden Colours
Orpheus
When Poets Dreamed of Angels

These two records are already on the Moon. Mostly subdued, but beautiful and powerful....

Hope to see you on the Moon!
