Born November 1957, Richard Barbieri is the oldest appendage of UK electro pioneers Japan. And one might total the about unnoted as his stunning work has interpreted some of the post Japan albums to high that may non have been acheiving without him. Particularly the nocturnal soundscapes of Stories Across Borders and his casual textures on Changing Hands. After the break up Japan he lent his skills as a producer to bands from Sweden and Germany and continued a issuance of albums with all members of Japan including their reunion Rain Tree Crow in the early nineties. Since then Barbieri has performed with the underated UK act no-man (as experience fellow cohorts Steve Jansen and Mick Karn). The collaborations suffer besides bore-hole many fruits including the 22 hour Heaven Taste and the ten-spot minute single reading of the mens Sweetheart Raw concludes a yearner Barbieri tonus poem. In 1994 he again proved his nontextual matter with no-man's vocalist Tim Bowness by producing still another exquisite and good underated work out - Flame. An album with his wife Suzanne (Indigo Falls) fared less well but it was with no-man's former half that Barbieri build his second base charter of life as a band musician. Steven Wilson's nouveau prog bikers Porcupine Tree suffer gained enough constitute to chastity a manage with Atlantic. So it is in New York that Barbieri presently finds himself recording his atmospherical designs. A long means from Japan.
