Could imagine David Sylvian circa Japan on vocals. Hard to tell who was influencing who....

Hey Joe, good to hear from you, I guess you knew about this one long before I did. Great minds think alike.

Big B - I'm afraid I don't know the Sylvian oeuvre well enough to weigh in on who influenced whom. I'll check that track you just posted for research purposes.

Great, quirky song. I'd say it sounds a bit more Bill Nelson than David Sylvian.
