David and Ingrid go head to head..

[Simonp]

Seems like the ex will be releasing her first album in many years around the same time as Manafon..was this deliberately planned to take the glory away from sylvian. Will anyone actually buy her album?

Will anyone actually buy her album?

I can't honestly say it's on my list, Sime.

[Simonp]

Me neither Phil. I've never liked her wishy washy vocal contributions on Sylvian's work. It's music for dinner parties, all surface, no substance.

Lovely looking woman though

I will propably illegally download her album and then decide if it's worth buying.

Me neither Phil. I've never liked her wishy washy vocal contributions on Sylvian's work. It's music for dinner parties, all surface, no substance.

Hmmm..."Scent Of Magnolia" and "Heartbeat" are both fine tracks...I think her vocal suits both (although, if she'd never been on either, we'd be none the wiser)

Lovely looking woman though

Yeah...although the words "maintenance" and "high" both leap instantly to mind.

[camphorvan]

My take on it - or my impression at least - is that it's Sylvian who would be the one who was initiating the head to head (if that's happening at all); remember he was the one who was delaying the release. Being as the old chap seemed to have been quite hurt and some of his more um...direct lyrics seem to have been directed as Miss Chavez, I wouldn't it passed anyone to do something like that. I'd probably do the same, but then I'm evil.

Phil, you had me laughing out loud there! I concur with your synopsis...and will not be purchasing her collection of breathy. whispered vocals pasted over duly dire and somber tired keyboard sketches. I prefer someone with actual talent, what can I say! (I'm evil too!)

[ob8]

i dont care for her work either, but i guess its horses for courses and some out there will rave about her album. I prefer David post Ingrid, far more output, far more challenging and non of that Alphabet Angels nonsense !

[neonico]

i find her new web site very creative.

Ingrid is a talent in her own right. Lay off the crap putdowns unless you can produce something worth a listen yourself.

[Tin Bird]

I was actually just being silly...I don't have anything against her or her music. I actually quite liked the Remembering Julia track.

[camphorvan]

...actually I can missourri I can, cos I'm in a band and I write 9/10's of the material. Ha! Eat your words! Now! In the form of Alphabet Soup please. Thank you.

Please come again.

Talented in what way? Have you read her poetry? Every second word is "snow" or a reference to the weather. People only care about her because of her connection to Sylvian.
