Absolutely divinely inspired song. Just brilliant in its fragility and composition. It feels like it could fall apart in a second. Damn sad they couldn’t work it out & release more stuff. #raintreecrow #davidsvian #japan #mickkarn #stevejansen #richardbarbieri

I visited my second Steve Jansen photographic exhibition in one week at the weekend. The Space Between exhibition had a dedicated soundtrack which you could buy as a postcard with a download code.

Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow
This Sylvian/Jansen/Friedman joint lasted for one LP and one EP in 2005, and was the last “accessible” record Sylvian made (the influence of his brother Steve Jansen is clearly felt).
These are very interesting tracks in general, woven through with natural and synthetic textures, and Sylvian’s voice carrying through all.

REMINDER: the latest article looks at Japan's 'Nightporter', an atmospheric and innovative ballad from their album Gentlemen Take Polaroids. The single release in 1982 was immaculately packaged. It's music that evokes strong memories for me.

REMINDER: The latest article is the first of two about Words with the Shaman, David Sylvian's EP from 1985. Sylvian wanted a specific sound, so turned to Nigel Walker to co-produce - who had worked with Japan. Nigel shares some memories.
