Forbidden Colors (Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian)

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (a.k.a. Forbidden Colours) by Ryuichi Sakamoto (1983)

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_v_pbd-O8U

Soundtrack from the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (戦場のメリークリスマス), a.k.a. Furyo in Europe, directed by Nagisa Oshima, and starring David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kitano.

The instrument is a Kawai VPC1 controlling a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano, and... straight from the 80's a sampled preset named "Touch Perco" from the Yamaha DX7 mk2 synth.

Unauthorised remix of David Sylvians 'Answered Prayers' from the Gone to Earth album (1986).
Created with Ableton Live in the spring of 2010. Instruments used: Fender acoustic bassguitar and Novation bassstation.

Listen to the original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv1snf4jTI8

Although I have enjoyed the music of Japan and David Sylvian since the mid eighties, I only heard 'Gone to Earth' for the first time in December 2009. Initially I thought it was a bit old and not relevant anymore, but soon it touched me and I played it a lot. Because of its beautifull sound 'Answered Payers' became one of my favorites. Later I felt that I could create a more earthly context for it. So I added a bassline and percussion and played some guitar on top of that. All parts were recorded around the first minute of the original. I enjoyed doing this remix and I'm happy with the result.

Hugely talented vocalist with 25 years experience. London born and bred, Curnin rose to fame in the 80s as front man behind the rock act 'The Fixx' gaining multi-platinum record sales and heavy rotation on MTV.  

More recently, Cy's talent for writing thought-provoking  and evocative songs has seen him carve out an impressive solo project, with 3 albums of timeless, uplifting and anthemic music.  

If similarities have to be considered then possibly early Eurythmics, Simple Minds

Ghosts GOTYE + YUM CHA SESSIONS - Groovescooter Records (Japan/David Sylvian cover)

Tweaker is an American alternative rock collaboration founded by Chris Vrenna in the late 1990s. Tweaker's musical style incorporates synthpop, progressive rock, modern jazz and electronica genres, and is characterized by a generally melancholy and sombre sound with distinctive artwork to match.
The album The Attraction to All Things Uncertain was Vrenna's "solo" debut and it was not until the follow-up album, 2 a.m. Wakeup Call, that Clint Walsh was announced as a permanent fixture to the band. While Vrenna and Walsh supply most instruments and electronics, many other famous musicians have lent their voices and talents to Tweaker, including Robert Smith, David Sylvian, Burton C. Bell, Craig Wedren, Will Oldham, Hamilton Leithauser, Buzz Osborne, Jonathan Bates and Johnny Marr.
The albums that have been released follow a central theme that was planned out and this was given to the collaborators. Both albums' cover art were paintings by Joe Sorren.
Tweaker wrote and performed the title theme to Doom 3, which was released via the band's website.
As Chris Vrenna and Clint Walsh, Tweaker did music for the animated television show Xiaolin Showdown.
While the Doom 3 theme was Heavy Metal-oriented (to the point of often being misattributed to Tool), most of Tweaker's music presents a unique combination of synthpop, shoegaze, modern jazz, and industrial.
It was rumored for a while that Tweaker would release a new album in 2008, although no new material surfaced, possibly due to Vrenna's duties towards Marilyn Manson, as he worked with Manson on his 2009 album The High End of Low.

The National are a Brooklyn-based five-piece hailing from Ohio. The group contains two pairs of brothers -- Bryce Dessner (guitars), Aaron Dessner (bass, guitars), Scott Devendorf (bass, guitars), and Bryan Devendorf (drums) -- and features Matt Berninger on vocals. The National's music has drawn comparisons to Interpol, the Smiths, Tindersticks, and Tom Waits -- the latter due to Berninger's shattered, beautiful earthquake of a voice, which recalls the holy trinity of Cave, Cash and Cohen. However, though concerned with the forensics of heartbreak specifically and the human condition generally, the band are no mere copycats.
