sbank,
His (Dave Sylvian’s) music was never radioplay standard. The venues he booked were always full EVERY time I purchased ticket for his live performance. Similar to David Sylvian, I went to Nina Hagen who performed at substantially smaller venue Joe's pub and another time Coney Island High in NYC. Both of these standing venues were full of people... I remember her lipstick smooch on my cheek after flowers and signature on my records :-) This under-appreciation than is I guess typical for all obscure bands.
I might not disagree, but perhaps lost in definition. Now I know that bands or artists that never got into radio play are all UNDER-appreciated right?
