Laura - thankyou for the email.
This is what I want to play (but might or might not, depending on the mood of the crowd and how I feel at the time):
Japan - Adolescent Sex, Suburban Berlin, Fall In Love With Me, Methods Of Dance, Still Life In Mobile Homes, Life In Tokyo, European Son... I know all the major Japan songs will be played by the DJ's - possibly a couple more than once if people ask for them.
Sylvian (etc) - Pulling Punches (which I can't wait to hear REALLY LOUD), Get The Hell Out (not sure of the message it conveys when I want people to stay, but I love the track), The Boy With The Gun, For The Love Of Life, Godman (not one of my favourites but I've listened to it with a different mindset and it will sound great and get people dancing), Darshan (probably the promo radio edit version), Jean The Birdman
Jansen/Barbieri (etc) - Can't Touch, Even Watch (Akira Mitake w/Rich - very Numan sounding and with Connie Filapello voice as on Boys Like Me - which I'd also like to play), Shining (12"), Sleepers Awake, Cave, Hypnotek, Stay Close, Betsu Ni (the re-recorded version on Takahashi's A Day In The Next Life), Fait Accompli, Mission, Fear Of A Blank Planet (PTree), Deadwing (PTree)... I'm listening to a lot of Barbieri right now
Karn - Tribal Dawn, Dalis Car, Moonlife, The Three Fates, Bestial Cluster, The Jump, After A Fashion - as well as some requests someone has made by email (but I need to make sure I am familiar with the tracks).
Friends/collaborators/other - Sakamoto Adelic Penguins or Photomusik, Akiko Yano Rose Garden, Ippu-Do Sail On, Secret Party, German Road, Sandii Idol Era, Zoot Kook or An Antenna, Depeche Mode Get The Balance Right or Everything Counts, Duran Duran My Antarctica (LOVE that track and it reminds me of Japan somehow), Yazoo Situation, Human League (Japan fans!) You Remind Me Of Gold or Heart Like A Wheel (so many to choose from), Prince Baby I'm A Star, YMO something from Technodelic...
I have about 8 hours of material I want to play to get down to a couple of 40 minute sets - not easy!
