Subject: Sylvian: video(s), UK tour?
Organization: University of California
Anyone in the UK (or US for that matter) seen the "Steel Cathedrals" video? Rumour has it that at least one video has been released in concurrence with _Secrets from the Beehive_; any impressions, ordering information, etc? Has anyone purchased _Trophies: The Lyrics of David Sylvian_? Tour news, reviews of _Secrets_, etc. appreciated. I have yet to see a review or even a casual mention of this guy in the press (but on the other hand my view of the music press has been narrowed to the odd impression gleaned from the S.F. Comical, _Option_, and _Music Technology_). I enjoy _Secrets_ but I find it lacks the energy that Jansen and Hassell have imparted in previous releases. Still, it has quite a different feel than anything else he's done; it's more mellow, less concentrated and quite a bit more sparse. Personally, it's the least favourite of the Sylvian works I have.
