Artful new wave/"sophistipop" (I refuse to use that word without mentioning my contempt for it) from Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen of Japan. Honestly, Jansen, who handles vocals, kinda sounds like he's straight-up doing a David Sylvian impression.
Track listing:
1. Catch the Fall
2. Shining
3. Second Sight
4. Love That You Need
5. Real Life, Real Answers
6. Host to the Holy
7. My Winter
8. Pushing the River
Falling down without a sound

ReplyDeleteYep, the brothers sound amazingly alike, tis true.
ReplyDeleteAlways liked that album! Pretty sure it would have been a hit if it had come out in 1983 or so. A few years behind the times, but still a pleasant listen IMHO :-)
ReplyDeleteGod I hate the eighties!
ReplyDeleteEvery decade is garbage
Delete50’s: Elvis
ReplyDelete60’s: Beatles
70’s: Pink Floyd / Sex Pistols
80’s: Duran Duran
‘Nuff said.
Tom Jones can wipe the floor with Duran Duran any day.
DeleteOf course we are discussing tastes here, so I’m not trying to convince anybody, I just don’t like the protoypical 89’s sound at all. Even great artists (Bowie, Reed) released their worst albums in said decade (Mistrial, Never let me down)
Duran Duran is way better than the beatles, bruv!
ReplyDeleteI've never managed to listen in entirety a Prince album, maybe someday I can re-try... Not tomorrow, for sure.
ReplyDeleteSurprised nobody has likened this to Yellow Magic Orchestra!
ReplyDeletethanks
