Three wonderful reviews of the album here.

Have a read, have a listen and see if you agree. I love the vocal comparisons and for once not a Marc Almond in sight!

Hello weekend,
What a glorious bastard you are! It’s a studio day, the very best of days. Will be experimenting with parallel signal chains and sound textures like i think i know what i am doing.
Also want to try out some new gear. Today is going to be a very good day

People probably won't see this but if youre in need of some hope, some confirmation, or just something hastily put together then have a little listen. I dont think im going to release this because... reasons.

Have a really great day.

They created magic as Japan.

But I would argue that David Sylvian & Co. achieved even greater success after disbanding.

David Sylvian, Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri and Mick Karn created magic as a quartet, but arguably were even greater beyond the realms of Japan. Here are six of the best...

#FeatureFriday is the super cool Jet Age from @pocketlint.bsky.social - a super cool, almost aloof concrete slab of 80s-inspired music. The highlight for me being 2nd track German Messages.

It’s #FeatureFriday again, and today we’re talking about “The Jet Age,” by @pocketlint.bsky.social, a very enjoyable album that evokes a different time (an aspect of the early 80s to my ears), while still sounding as if it was made today. Very impressive work!

Checked out The Jet Age by
@pocketlint.bsky.social for #FeatureFriday and Comet was the standout for me, especially with the synthy build-up that makes it quite easy to visualize to.

My favorite song from @pocketlint.bsky.social's wonderful "The Jet Age" is the second song of the album "German Messages".
Any song that starts with a melodic guitar riff has my automatic attention and this one is a real earworm that will. never. leave. again!

Listen to it here:

This is a fantastic article and a new artist to me.

I like the idea that the debate on who ‘stole’ from who has moved on to a more nuanced and frankly adult one as art rarely exists in a vacuum

‘Her time has come’: did Mondrian owe his success to a cross-dressing lesbian artist who lived in a Cornish cove?
Piet Mondrian found fame, fortune and glory with his grid-like paintings lit with basic colours. But did many of his ideas come from Marlow Moss? Our writer celebrates an extraordinary British talent ...
