Aww yeah, at last a good restoration of Shining! Love the Dolphin Brothers, especially “Second Sight”, too bad they never released any remixes of that, the single version was the same as the album one IIRC. If you like The Dolphin Brothers, the band Empire (John Uriel and Mark Lee Kemp) is also very recommended.

Thank you for such a great share Paul. I have to make a correction: “Catch The Fall” is not the duo’s only album as you stated, they made another 5 albums from 1985 to 1997 as “Jansen-Barbieri”.

Interesting, I didn’t realize that David Sylvian had a brother who was also a singer. Definitely sounds just like him, “My Winter” is a lovely mood tome. Thank you for sharing this.

Great rip! Great site!
Do you have any Sylvian or JAPAN singles? I’m even considering donating my own vinyl copies to you so you can do a decent rip of them!

Thanks Paul. This is awesome once again. Steve Jansen sounded just like his brother David. Dolphin Brothers also released a Japan only single Face To Face, do you have that?

These are the posts I prefer the most. When it’s something totally new to me. I love discovering “new” music. Never heard of The Dolphin Brothers. The John Potoker Remix is fantastic. I love his remixes so much. Thanks a million Paul for this outstanding rip.
