Free Music Review: Review & Corrections To Editorial Review:
Hit: 5 Stars
If only homo sapiens could evolve beyond their tribal mentality. If only we could follow the sixth commandment and stop killing our own species. If only Christians could be free of the lunacy of the anti-Christian book of 'Revelation'. (Who allowed that paganist, divisive hallucination into the New Testament?!) If only we could all be World Citizens.... The two variations on Sylvian's lyrical theme of 'world citizen' are beautiful must-have songs for anyone who can see and dream beyond the madness.
The Amazon Editorial Review for 'World Citizen' sez: "Just prior to Japan's break-up, Sylvian began working with composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, with whom he released the single "Bamboo Houses" in 1982, marking the beginning of a long-standing musical relationship."
This is wrong. The first Sylvian & Sakamoto collaboration was 'Taking Islands In Africa' from the 'Gentlemen Take Polaroids' album (1980) a full three years before Japan broke up. They met while Japan was touring with Yellow Magic Orchestra, of which Sakamoto was a member. Since that time they have consistently collaborated. Sakamoto describes Sylvian as a 'brother'.
The Amazon Editorial Review for 'World Citizen' sez: "Sylvian and Sakamoto have not released a record together for 21 years, which makes this a very special release. 'world citizen', with its powerful lyrics and excellent melody, is a must have for all Sylvian and Sakamoto fans."
This is very wrong. Tsk tsk. Their released singles together, in order: 'Bamboo Music/Houses' (1982), 'Forbidden Colours' (1983), 'Heart Beat (Tainai Kaiki)' (1992), 'Zero Landmine' (2001), 'World Citizen' (2004).

World Citizen Poster
"Its skewed pop recalls Bowie?s Hunky Dory, and pinpoints the human cost of superpower recklessness, prompting a standing ovation for pop music?s most mercurial refusenik-turned-prodigal son? THE GUARDIAN (on a live performance of World Citizen). Longtime friends and collaborators David Sylvian and Ryuichi Sakamoto work together again on this latest release, 'world citizen'. There are five tracks included on ?world citizen?, in a different running order and with completely different artwork to the package that was released late last year by Warner Music Japan. Also included is a remix by acclaimed remixer Ryoji Ikeda.The songs were recorded in New York and New Hampshire, USA in the summer of 2003.
Sylvian and Sakamoto have not released a record together for 21 years, which makes this a very special release. ?world citizen?, with its powerful lyrics and excellent melody, is a must have for all Sylvian and Sakamoto fans.
