Just came across this on you tube:

One of the comments is nice:
"Leans heavily Progressive Rock - and for me, not in a good way. I'm glad they fiddled with the synths to make them sound less Prog and more New Wave."


Always knew David was a proggy.
(After all, Japan used a Mellotron from time to time.)

Thanks. I like it.

PS I'm a progressive rock-lover since the early '70's who got on well with a lot of New Wave-music, while still liking the proggy stuff as well. For me there's no hard line between these two music-styles.

Speaking of P-Machinery, I found this other version of it that I personally like better than the more widespread version :)

Speaking of proggy

Never knew there were that many versions of this song: https://www.discogs.com/master/67185-Pr ... -Machinery

I saw a few on Youtube, but I had absolutely no idea that there were that many

They could pretty much make two albums out of the same song x)

That's funny: I was just watching this youtube documentary and quess what, in minute 27 we see a picture from David Sylvian (taken by Steve Jansen and included on page 20 in his book Through A Quiet Window)
