4.0 out of 5 stars Full of facts but not enough soul, May 22, 1999
By A Customer
This first proper biography of David Sylvian offers a good introduction to this wonderfull but often misunderstood artis. For the diehard followers, who have waited some time to get to know better the complex man behind the music, this work is slightly unsatisfying.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much needed biography, but could have been a bit better, January 23, 2000
It's about time someone write a biography of David Sylvian and Japan. This is a good book, great cover photo, nice appropriate title, but contains too much info. on David's later solo career and material, and is disappointingly sparce on his years with Japan, (which made him famous in the first place). I have a feeling this is the biography Sylvian would want you to read, but not the biography that YOU would want to read!

Although this book is very interesting, it should have spent more time covering Japan. Way more time....
