David Sylvian, 'Alchemy an Index of Possibilities' from 2003. A strange and mostly excellent album. Took me a while to get into it and still need to be in the mood, but when I am, love it.

Saw Burnt Friedman perform in Melbourne a few months back, he was excellent!

Here he is with the late Jaki Liebezeit, yep, the amazing drummer from German pioneers Can and David Sylvian in fine voice!

Secrets of the Beehive is a really dark and somewhat minimalist album. I have to be in the mood for it, but when I am I really enjoy it.

Mine are in the air, very much looking forward to them arriving. Have the original pressings but just couldn't resist the possibility of them sounding better.

Cool.  Let us know how you feel they sound.    I only have a mid 80's UK reissue of Tin Drum and believe it or not - don't even own Gentlemen!!

[cafe67]

I'm waiting to see if these because available locally, but i have GTP on vinyl, cd and SACD. Tin drum on cassette (from 1981) vinyl, vinyl ( black to vinyl- forgot I had the early vinyl) cd and SACD.

 

but will probably get these as well
