Your Favourite Promo Music Vid's

As you know Alec, I pretty much love all that is David Sylvian.

This is a great song and the perfect video for it.

I'm still gutted at having tickets to see him, at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall (great seats), on the 2012 Implausible Beauty tour, and him having to cancel, the whole tour, I think? through that bad back injury...The tour was to feature Jan Bang, Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset, amongst other top musicians...It would have been a great night, I'm pretty sure of that...David has appeared at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall a couple of times before.

Did you get the recent 'Do You Know Me Now?' 10xCD and book boxset, Alec?

I think this collection contains the entirity of his creative output on samadhisound.

I didn’t obtain a copy of that most recent boxset nor the recent book. I did obtain the giant hardcover book of lyrics and other writings. What about you?

I thought he might’ve rescheduled the tour but it seems to have become impossible.

Agreed about the song and promo. So dreamy.

No, I haven't bought the latest David Sylvian boxset...However, I'm really tempted, even though I already have quite a lot of the recordings. It looks a fabulous package and is a really neat way to bookend all his samadhisound recordings, over the 10 CDs...Throw in the 100 page hardback book, which comes with the boxset and the price of £140 (ish), really looks very good value.

It would be like having your own personal, total DS on samadhisound, vault = very neat & tidy, and really quite appealing....You see, I'm gradually talking myself into it..😉

Oh, and re the 2012 IB tour and a possible reschedule, as you said, that's never going to happen now. Everything was right at the time, where a window was open for these musicians to come together, rehearse and perform live together, but, obviously, the door closed on that. I think it would have been practically impossible to assemble the same lineup again, even just a few months after the scheduled dates, what with everyones location, and their own personal musical/professional commitments, etc.

I started hearing this in my head when I read this at work.

😎Great track. I love the Bruce Springsteen ending.

Whoa oh oh oh oh!!

It’s got that controversial word in it. This promo I’ve always placed in the same category of the fun and the energetic as Madness’s “Night Boat To Cairo” ….
