I hear Marc Hollis being lauded at times for such the great talent he was/is and whilst i respect the man greatly for his musical nous/talent i could never understand the comparison in relation to David Sylvian. Especially in regards to thoughts on spirituality or musical sensibility and the conceptual feel of a work. I mean that both of them are truly abstract in nature but surely poles apart in descriptive ethics and moral aesthetics .
Both through the years have been tortured individuals but yet so different in their approach musically in conquering their demons whether through spiritual or moral values in which i respect them both greatly.
Any thoughts other than mine?
