Given the time periods I would say that likely Depeche Mode's vocalist (I can't recall his name ATM) was trying to emulate David Sylvian. Regardless, all those guys were playing in the same electronic sandbox. ;)

Depeche Mode's vocalist is Dave Gahan. :)

Aww, shucks!

Actually, it's been hard to decide on what to choose for him with so many CDs in the collection. Tonight he said he wanted some experimental stuff, so I grabbed him Brian Eno, Stereolab, Syd Barrett, Esquivel, and Bowie's Low (my favorite Bowie album). He should have quite a day of music tomorrow. I hope he doesn't come home horrified!

I would have Googled it, but that's cheating. :D

And I think that's quite a fine day of music--those would all work well together IMHO. (Depending on which Eno you chose, of course!)

For Eno, I gave him "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" so it isn't too out there as that is one of his more "glam" albums.

Gay Godfather Ash is HUGE into David Sylvian, and got me a few of his CDs. My problem thus far is that I think I would like him and I would like some of his stuff, but I have not heard anything thus far that I like of his...does that make sense? Weird...But I'm hard to get music for, and literally because a crappy pop song has one particular little interval of notes in it or is in a certain key, I might like it.

Well, luckily David Sylvian has a very large catalog of music, so perhaps you might find something of his that you like eventually. :)
