I am curious about his recent CD, after having it recommended to me by a friend. Anybody out there heard it? There’s supposed to be some British free jazz guys on it.

I held out for an original edition of “Brilliant Trees” on CD, as I didn’t care for the new cover of the re-issue.

I have always liked Mr. Sylvian’s work with Ryuichi Sakamoto – that should be listed separately here, I think.
