Back in September of 2001, industrial band butterfly and remix god Chris Vrenna released a solo album under the name Tweaker that I fell in love with pretty quickly and which provided a good portion of my post-9/11 personal soundtrack in New York City.

This was the first single from that wonderfully mysterious record, with David Sylvian lending his vocal talents.

Here's Linoleum.

A couple of days ago, I posted a song that featured David Sylvian on vocals -- and that of course sent me looking for my favorite song from David Sylvian, actually, one of my favorites of all-time.

From 1986's Gone To Earth album, this is a song that's just gorgeous beyond words. It's Silver Moon.

I'm not sure there's a better possible musical collaboration than Japanese multi-instrumental genius Ryuichi Sakamoto and esoteric British singer-songwriter David Sylvian -- a man with a voice so distinct and lovely that it should be its own genre.

This song was featured on the Babel soundtrack a few years back, and here it's being performed live by Sakamoto, with Sylvian's vocal track pre-recorded.

It's World Citizen.
