RAIN TREE CROW

My first introduction to Sylvian's music, RAIN TREE CROW were recommended to me as something related to late TALK TALK. Unfortunately, they're nothing close, but fortunately they're quite enjoyable on their own. Take 80s CRIMSON, through away cranky Fripp solos (at least, it's imaginary possible!) and install nice low male vocals (David himself). Mix of ambient, proto-post-rock, experimental electronica and singer-songwriter attitude makes RAIN TREE CROW accessible but still progressive. Not that much essential in my book, but if you're fan of above-mentioned stuff, you may hunt for this album (it's really quite rare, as much as I know). Recommended.
