David Sylvian 'Brilliant Trees' - I hope he performs something off this in September when I see him live in Birmingham.

Oh, Brian 'Burn you up, Burn you down' is on Peter's Hit CD. (Sorry Alex, just saw the question, didn't mean to steal your thunder!)

Brilliant song - it really should have been a hit!

Ah, now this is a classic example of Gabriel song writing/timescales!

It was co-written with Karl Wallanger in 1991 as part of one of the Real World Studio "recording weeks" but was never finished until 2003!

To answer your question, it is available on the 2003 compilation album, "HIT".

An alternative version of the track was released as single in November 2003 but failed to chart I think

An instrumental version of BYUBYD also appeared on a promo CD for the album (which also featured instrumental versions of Big Time, More than This, Secret World, Signal to Noise and a new track, Wild).

Sorry, getting carried away there...

Send me a PM with your address if you'd like to hear it.

Hmph. I'm considering my thunder stolen!!
*sulks*

I'm sorry...

Today's menu: live outside concert by Chiffchaff & Cuckoo, percussion by Distant Thunder

Thanks to both of you for the answer.

The Hit CD is one of the few I dont have.I ordered it off play.com just after it went out of stock,it never came back in so the order was cancelled.

Is it still available?

The whole of their album is on their myspace page rather than just 4 tracks.First time I've seen a myspace page with more than 4 tracks.

"Hit" is a good compilation. The sound quality os great and there are a few nice extra tracks such as Lovetown, the Robbie Robertson mix of I Have the Touch and a different version of The Tower that Ate People.

Nice touch Karwin.
I've had the second album by Dartford and the Wood Warblers on this afternoon…
Picked up a couple of singles by Blackcap earlier, but that's pretty ordinary Top 40 stuff round here.
Snipe on backing vocals was a clever twist

I have, however been in a sweaty, smoky pub this evening rocking to The Wurzels!!
Seriously - at the right time, right atmosphere these boys have a rare talent :p
