The first JBK album and EP are fantastic, agree that Ism is a step down but not a huge one.

Whenever there's a RTC mention, I'm compelled to chime in with a recommendation for Jansen and Barbieri's Stories Across Borders, a real special record. Def of a piece with RTC.

listening to Beginning to Melt for first time ever. Side B way preferable to side A imo. "Shipwreck" the standout on first listen.

now stories across borders. Halfway through it. This rules hard.

Jansen and Barbieri's "Worlds In A Small Room" if you're after that late-Japan sound though moving into more of an ambient direction.

This album should be right in my sweetspot, but I've got a curious barrier when it comes to Sylvian. I find him bloated and portentous - things that don't stop me listening to a whole bunch of other stuff.
Anyway, for whatever reason, Blackwater is just about goddamn perfect right now.
