Mr Sylvian has put up his own current faves on a playlist in the i-tunes store, and quite lovely it is too.
19 tracks of a wildly eclectic assortment. I took a punt and downloaded all 19 tracks for just over a tenner, and worth every penny.
I knew the Scott Walker Robert Wyatt and Television tracks,and i have some stuff by Arve Henriksen,and Miles Davis, but the rest was alien to me.
tracklisting:
1) Amassakoul 'n' Ténéré - Tinariwen (Amassakoul)
2) Hejira - Joni Mitchell (Hejira)

12) Bag Lady - Erykah Badu (Mama's Gun)
13) Dzogchen Punks - Steve Tibbetts (The Fall of Us All)

The Steve Tibbets, Miles Davis,Me'Shell Ndegeocello and Joni Mitchell tracks were the ones that leapt out at me. The Arve Henriksen track is also quite nice.
