Hi Steve. Someone has recently shared some photos of a few of your prints, which they purchased from you some years ago – including a couple of images of David, from the Tin Drum album shoot. I don’t recall seeing any of the shots previously, and wondered if you had any others from the session? Was there a reason why they didn’t appear in ‘through a quiet window’? August 23, 2017
You’ve mentioned Johnny Thunders & The Blackhearts – ‘Chinese Rocks’ as being a favourite track at one time, and listening to it as well as Television tracks give the first two Japan LP’s a new perspective on how to hear them. ‘In Vogue’ stands out from the rest of ‘Quiet Life’, is a distillation of later Japan style and one you said, here, was your favourite Japan song. Was there anything musically or otherwise from your perspective that catalyzed the change from what was created before to ‘In Vogue’ ? August 18, 2017
Dear Steve, I spotted you playing drums on one of the songs of the album Magnetic by Gaudi. It’s quite an eclectic recording with a diverse group of musicians. I’m curious to find out how you became involved. Were outtakes of the Koi recordings used for this? If not, what material where you given to work with? I was surprised to see you paired up with noise mongers Merzbow and Bill Laswell, but you do hold your ground :). Your unique way of drumming really comes into its own on the atmospheric track! Any thoughts on the final result? Thanks for the amazing music and pictures all these years!!! August 4, 2017
Hi Steve, just wondered if you would care to share with us “fans” your favourite 10 songs of all time. I know they may change from day to day but songs that left a real impression. Could I also ask do you have a particular favourite artist you have worked with over the years aside from your ex Japan members of course, or a recollection of such (propaganda, annie lennox, alice, john foxx etc). Thanks in advance…it’s fair to say im a “fan”!!! :-) July 31, 2017
Although I have looked at your photographs many times online, I have only just bought your book, I now wish I had bought it ages ago. Although it’s obvious that looking at a print is better than staring at a bunch of pixels, common sense somehow failed me and it wasn’t until your beautiful book arrived that this dawned on me. I was as enthralled with the images as if it was the first time I saw them. The photos illuminate a soulful beauty that most people don’t capture. Thank you for sharing such wonderful photos with us. I was wondering if there was one image that sprung to mind first, that you knew you just had to include, when you was offered the book deal? July 31, 2017
