Everything And Nothing - take 2!

[Simonp]

Okay. Given the work David has produced since E&N, if you were to compile a best of, what would your tracklisting be? You can include everything up to 9 Horse.

[godisinthesilences]

i'm going to have to give this some thought... cause my best of wouldn't be a commercially successful one i don't think.

[Simonp]

Disc 1

How Little We Need To Be Happy (remix)
Heartbeat
Wonderful World
Darkest Birds
The Heart Knows Better (SBP Remix)
Exit/Delete
Linoleum
Blackwater
The Librarian
A Fire In The Forest

Disc 2

Messenger
The Scent of Magnolia
World Citizen
Atom & Cell
Pure Genuis
When Monday comes Around
Earthbound, Starblind
Serotonin
Darkest Dreaming
I won't Be Disappointed
Endgame

I'll probably change my selection over the next few days!

[godisinthesilences]

ok now that is a MOST EXCELLENT list!!!!!

[sonic_chronicler]

No room for "For The Love Of Life" or Somewhere?

I think you cheated there by adding in a few that were released before E&N existed

sonic

[Simonp]

I am going to re-do my list, Sonic. Missed out loads I think should be on it!!

[baht habit]

Using my imagination....

disc one:

Linoleum
Darkest Birds
Sugarfuel
The Heart Knows Better
I Won't Be Disappointed
Wonderful World (single edit)
Late Night Shopping (tweaker remix)
Exit/Delete (a rerecorded mix with Jansen on drums)
Somewhere
the unreleased track that Sylvian and Jansen recorded with Fripp in 2004
Money For All
Pure Genius
The Banality Of Evil (Friedman remix)
A Fire In The Forest

disc two:

When Loud Weather Buffeted Naoshima
The Good Son
Bhajan (a newly recorded studio version)
The Day The Earth Stole Heaven

[Simonp]

Good selection Baht. Wonder what the new audio track "Loud Weather" sounds like? I guess it will be a lot of atmospheric bleepy, crackly sounds with Sylvian speaking over the top of it.

[godisinthesilences]

wow when i see these lists i feel like i know nothing about david's music.
What is the The Heart Knows Better SPB remix?

[Simonp]

It's available on The Good Son v's The Only Daughter remix album. Brilliant remix by Sweet Billy Pilgrim who by the way have released an amazing debut album. Worth checking out!

[baht habit]

and SBP is lead by singer / guitarist Tim Elsenburg, who also functions as an adjunct member of Nine Horses...and Elsenburg is slated to be performing in a duo with Jansen.
Back on topic, is it too late for me to amend my list of tracks for this fictitious collection? I'd gladly omit some of the recent collaborative work on the initial track list in order to include an imaginary studio recording of Don't Stay Away Too Long (Wasn't I Joe?).

Amend away, dear Baht!

Do these actually exist somewhere or are they indeed in your imagination?

[baht habit]

The unreleased track that Robert Fripp recorded with Jansen and Sylvian back in October of 2004, which was left off of Snow Borne Sorrow, does indeed exist. Fripp described it as "a classic Sylvian ballad". Sylvian described Fripp's contribution as a return to his guitar sound from the days of Giles Giles and Fripp (the relatively lighter precursor to Crimson).

As far as I know, Bhajan has not been recorded in the studio....and unfortunately, a re-recorded version of Exit / Delete is also a figment of my grand imagination. But that song definitely deserves a better drum track. The drumming sounds pathetically amateurish and, in my opinion, mars the otherwise beautiful sound of the track.

[Crickett]

WHERE'S "BLUE SKINNED GODS" ???

That's definitely one of Sylvian's most recent BEST pieces.....

Amazing!!!!!!

Heck I just wish he would officially release on a disc.....

Maybe the next "Solo" album
