Didn't realize there was an active DS forum around until I stumbled across this the other day, nice to see. I was a member of the now defunct "E&N" (I think it was called) forum a while back.
"Swing" was one of the first DS songs I ever heard, the live version, as I recall, my brother having bought the maxi-single w/Visions of China. It caught my ear as being something quite special and unique, and is still my favorite Japan-era song. That was probably around 1982 or so, I was 14-15 at the time, and have been a Sylvian fan since, and have found following his career to be a consistently rewarding endeavor.
I was lucky enogh to see the Shamen tour in Berkeley, and the E&N tour in San Francisco. Too bad he is skipping the states for this unexpected "world" tour, but there is a chance that I may move to Japan this summer/fall (it might be next year), so if the tour makes it over there, I'll have a shot at
seeing it.
Nice to be here, thanks.
