David Sylvian / Ryuichi Sakamoto: Bamboo Houses (12" version)

And the '00 remix from David Sylvian's Everything and Nothing compilation.

Might as well place these tunes back to back with Emmett's Haruomi Hosono post to extend the YMO tangent. Please enjoy.

Addvibe: Luv And Happiness

That thing happening with the tuned cymbals is pretty great, as is the guitar player. From the album Luv And Happiness. Written, produced and arranged by Pål Sørli, Tor Egil Braseth, and Tom Christer Johansen.

waiting for records in the mail ... please hold

Silkworm: Ooh La La [2000]
Silkworm: Is She a Sign [2002]

Two from the late, great Silkworm. First, a cover of the Faces “Ooh La La” from 2000’s Lifestyle. The original is a classic, but I love how wearied, plaintive, and even hopeless this version is. It becomes a different song. I’ve also posted “Is She a Sign” from 2002’s Italian Platinum. Even restrained Silkworm has what feels like a coiled, growling undercurrent.

Both records from the Touch and Go label and available
here .

Oh, I yoinked the photo off of Silkworm's website. It was taken while they were on tour in Japan.
