Forbidden Colours has been their only "connection".
Watching the video back in the day, my mates and I used to joke about David Sylvian being David Bowie's little brother. Funny that Bowie does not appear in the video...
By the way, great editing. Compared to this, all the CGI crap looks so cheap.
One of the comments to the video on
this page reads thus:
"no less than David Bowie himself ask for David Sylvian to sing this"
No idea if there's any truth in that.
Anyway, DS was a great DB fan in his youth.
