Has anyone heard whether Sylvian actually appears in Amplified Gesture?

[Adrian]

so am I - this is ridiculous... I know art can't be rushed etcetera, but come on... 'soon' is the most misused and misunderstood word over at Samadhi, should be 'sometime, if and when we can be bothered' I got an e-mail about an 'update' from them this last weekend, so I was all excited, and it turned out to be about the nomination for Sweet Billy Pilgrim - which we all already know about from the site from three weeks ago... What the...

David does not appear in the film, or so I understand.

David does not appear in the film???? How exceptionally disappointing. Can anyone confirm this?

I'm just surprised at how long Samadhi take to update the site. The album was ready to go way back in March so what is the delay this time?

These should whet your appetite. Momus on 'The Wire' and first glimpse of issue:

Fire at will!

I've just been out to look for a copy but it's not hit the shops here yet. Came back with a pint of milk and some burnt croissants instead.

Looks like The Wire have done a lovely job.

My reaction to that cover was way over what it's supposed to be for a heterosexual man.

[tracycowell]

the other photos inside are beautiful hes smiling in one!

[Adrian]

those are lovely photo's indeed - gone is the lushness - they remind me of the Nine Horses Band pics a bit. Can't wait to read the article. Release date for the mag is tomorrow, but I live in Holland, so I'm hoping Friday but I guess sometime next week...

It's a wonderful, wonderful article. I so enjoyed reading about the evolution of Manafon and David's perspectives on his current creative phase. Thank you THE WIRE.

[Simonp]

Interesting that he appears to have dumped Amma. Like the lyrics to Small Metal Gods....can't wait to see this article.

[jon abbey]

David talks in there a bit about how he "met nearly everyone involved with Manafon" at a concert series I put on in Cologne, so you guys know who to thank/blame, depending on your opinion of the record.
