Not what I expected - Jansen's drums and percussion is pretty special. not sure i have spent a better $20 for some time. Have that on cassette when it originally came out and on the later release cd format. 2

cafe67 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Having listen to this tonight , came recommended from the DS fb group - similar sound to later Japan solo members efforts , mix of longish instrumentals and shorter songs. Perhaps a mix of later Talk Talk and DS album. Nicely recorded with some fine trumpet and drumming. Edit throw in a dash of porcupine tree as well. Edited January 24, 2022 by cafe67 1 1

Ian McP Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 Sylvian appears on New Twinkle3 album https://www.davidsylvian.net/news/latest-news/sylvian-appears-on-new-twinkle3-album/ < David Sylvian reads poetry, contributes field recordings and designed the artwork for the new album by Twinkle3. Release information: ‘On ‘Upon This Fleeting Dream’ Clive Bell’s Twinkle3 embraces medieval and 16th-century Japanese poems and haiku about death and saying farewell. Bell and his trio, consisting of Dave Ross and Richard Scott, expand their sonic borders: bringing these pithy epigrams to a new Fourth World where electro-acoustic sounds glitches into a hypnagogic, if not the unconscious level of fragile beauty. The distinctive voice of David Sylvian (ex-singer of Japan and known for his highly acclaimed solo work (Brilliant Trees, Secrets of The Beehive, Blemish…) and collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp, Holger Czukay and Jon Hassell amongst others) – who reads the English version of the poems and created field recordings and the artwork for this album – blends in the most organic way with the shakuhachi, Thai reed flutes and mouth organs played by Clive Bell. The narrative voices of David Sylvian and Kazuko Hohki’s (Frank Chickens, Kahondo Style…) velvet timbre are the cornerstones of this compelling journey while the tangling and abstract rhythms transcending from Dave Ross’ modular synths and Richard Scott’s sampler and analogue electronics, unravel and unfold a mesmerizing universe with unknown dimensions and frequencies of a fleeting dream.’ Due for vinyl release on Cortizona on 28 October 2022. Clive Bell appeared on ‘When Loud Weather Buffeted Noashima’ and Sylvian wrote sleevenotes for Twinkle3’s album ‘Debris in Lower Earth Orbit’. Purchase links below with track excerpts, Sylvian can be heard on ‘Throughout the Frosty Night’ and ‘Empty Handed’. > 1
