Not read the whole thread here and only listened to it once, but isn't it just five lines on a gravestone ?

Lets all hope silvermoon the owner of the site, does the right thing and removes all links to free downloads of David Sylvian's new album.

from Fourth Door Review email interview with DS carried out in 2005

Q: Do you see other record labels taking over the space ECM promoted for many years ?

A: "Mike Harding of Touch is doing a tremendous job as is Jon Abbey with Erstwhile..."

Bit disturbing how this guy can post a review on Amazon.de though could be just made up stuff - If not, how did he get hold of Manafon....? When they seem to control this release much harder. No mention on his multiply. com webpage unless another guy.

having been with Japan since the Rock Garden gig and followed them then on, this line has always meant for me - small victories, achievements, advances, but whatever anyone else thinks thats true as well.

Thanks for info baht, spoken like a true fan. Glad to see Opium/Samadhi protecting their output in some way after fiasco last time. They may be slow to give out info, but whatever they say will not satisfy some. Its true with other artists you probably get more, but thats just not the way with DS ...

Hey where's wonderful Baht gone?? Any more ideas about the new album ??

It seems there are not that many musicians out there showing the honesty of DS, but Murcof is certainly one of them.
He has just put out an EP with Truffaz that first appeared on the Rendez-vous CD.
Three excellent tracks. If you love the Shaman EP from DS from '85 you may well love these pieces ...

great news. Have seen Evan parker a few times live - astonishing player.
Hope there are some 'in your face' vocals as per Blemish, but does anyone else have a feeling this might be, at least in part spoken word ?

I am not much of an anorak, but...

i always thought there was something different about this dvd compared to the video release and a friend picked up on it and mentioned it to me the other day - the end of Still Life where the camera scans the band on the decking - on the video release david is ...

I guess David will now, as saidcarry on with his own new work - sidetracked, which can always happen - I guess by 9 Horses.
Some kind of follow on from Blemish which I find so exciting. He was working with the amazing Keith Rowe and an American tuba player the last years - forget the name - (ala ...

Few good interviews appearing in the dutch press the last few weeks where he (and Japan) have always been respected from the start. Even VPRO radio devoted a whole evening to Sylvian music last week ! -

Interviews - much said lately but in relation to the music/tour -

'I want to celebrate my older ...

Not much to report form show yesterday. Went on stage late as support act Signe Tollgsen arrived late. She had a great voice and handled the ignorant group of 'sylvian fans' at the back who applauded when she told us she was on her final song.
Show raced through in an hour and half. Some changes to ...
