co-sign. really like all of his pop albums. think my favorite is adam'n'eve, but they all have some amazing highlights.
"eden" from adam'n'eve still gets me movin:

With GF, as I recall, the bulk of his income comes from U2 tours; he’s involved in their design/styling.

Gavin's allegedly working on a new solo album as we speak. Purportedly all electronic. We'll see.

Sylvian I suspect is making money in the professional art world, doing sound installations and that sort of thing.

friends,
if you will recall the last time i wrote you, it was in distress as i had been informed that the music video for "king of trash" was not available anywhere for viewing.
i'm quite happy to inform you with the following update: we have located a replacement.

just an unofficial upload, but reasonably good quality. fantastic. one of my favorite song+video combos of all time. if there was allowed to be "good fake bowie" in the 70s that gets remembered, surely by the 90s i'm allowed to appreciate "self-consciously ironic fake morrissey." i love this song. those first three albums are so satisfying (+all three are personal classics).

wild, I am a huge Virgin Prunes fan but have heard almost none of GF's later work
worth noting that there is a Virgin Prunes song called "King Of Junk" from circa 1985 iirc?

it's very cheesy music. prunes are unlistenable by comparison.
i recommend all of it very highly.
