far too few appreciate how significant this composition and his others in this theme are. Like the few, so far ahead of where the rest are (even typing as I am in 2015 about a piece composed and performed a decade or more ago). His latest work shows he still positions his compositions in a place where most will be in future years.Sublime.

Beckett's script reads "Wasn't I, Joe?", same connotation in his German version, as well as in the Japanese subtitles in this video. I wonder why Sylvian chose to erase the comma, which adds a new meaning to the line. Anyway, the original TV play is on KZbin, watch it if you want more context to this fabulous piece of music.

Not quite, as I adore everything about Japan - but strongly suspect that his utterly narcissistic need to be a pretentious ambient solo artist (and a mediocre one at that) was tragically destructive to a magnificent and zeitgeist-shifting band. Remarkable how, them both being in their mid-forties, it's Steve who's now the looker - not once-sublime David. Such a waste of grand talent, all of it.
