I dunno how many people here ordered it, but it is AWESOME! Tim composed a handful of damn fine songs! :D

Oh, and the art direction is under Mr Sylvian himself 8)

Well done guys!

On SBP's first album "We just did what happened and no one came", published on the Wonderland Avenue label in 2005, the band thank various people including David Sylvian. It makes sense now that their second album has been released through Samadhi, but at the time it was odd. Does anybody know what they are thanking him for and what sort of contacts there had been between the band and Big Dave?

could this have been related to the remix for The Good Son album and the exposure it gave the band to David's fanbase

SBP's Manager is Adrian Molloy of Opium Arts. I guess that's the link to Sylvian.

Both opinions make sense. Cheers.

Tim worked with Steve Jansen, including a tour with Yukihiro Takahashi, before signing to SamadhiSound

the link with Sylvian is via Adrian at Opium arts. That came from Tim himself.I asked him the same question at a gig when I met him.A real gent is Tim and a darn good artist.
