Hi all,
I am one excited Sylvian fan.
Not only have I found this great forum but my tickets for the gig at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester came in the post today!
I should be going to Munich on 14th September for my company but they can forget it, I'm going to see David perform. It's a rare opportunity so I'm taking it.
I first got into David Sylvian when he released Brilliant Trees. I was at high school and a mate bought the album, but he hated it so much he swapped it with me for a cheese sandwich! His loss was my gain - I was captivated from the first listen.
It was the first time I'd heard something that was 'different' from chart music 'pop' and it started me on a long road of discovery. If I looked beyond the charts, there was (and still is) some absolutely beautiful music to be discovered.
To this day, I thank Brilliant Trees for the wonderful music collection I now have and I'm always looking to discover more so I'll soon be asking you all what other artists you can recommend, but that's for another thread.
Bye for now,
Creekds.
