Just wondering if people pursue the careers of any of Sylvian's collaborators. What I mean is - have you gone out and bought music by people who have worked with Sylvian because of being introduced to them through his music?
This doesn't include buying stuff because he is on their albums e.g. Tweaker.
I certainly have. Some I was aware of but hadn't investigated previously - some were completely new to me.
I started looking into Mark Isham stuff because of his appearancess on the solo albums and now I probably have about 40 of his albums (he's done a lot of Soundtracks in case you didn't know)
Other notable mentions:
Virginia Astley - bought 'Some Small Hope' and then the album 'Hope in a darkened heart' but she captured my heart and I went on to buy everything I could find of hers. If you like pastoral piano stuff you must try 'From Gardens Where We Feel Secure'
Jon Hassell - loved his work on Brilliant Trees and Alchemy so went out and bought a load of his stuff.
Robert Fripp - I go more for the soundscapes than the King Crimson stuff
Trey Gunn - bought his album at the Sylvian & Fripp gig
Bill Nelson
Sakamoto
I'm sure there will be loads of others I've forgotten - remind me fols
