Czukay & Sylvian - Plight & Premonition

[Adrian]

Hi there,

No release date yet , but this is from August 2 from Holger's diary:
beginning of last month I said that issue 3 of my back catalogue was already finished. but I hadn't considered all the little details which take most of the time. it was planned to rerelease plight & premonition which david sylvian and myself created about 20 years ago. I also suggested to david adding an additional remix to the original new mastered cd. they became too, couldn't help to find out what could be done different in a new version. and both remixes became very different to the original ones without losing its original character.
plight remix is a combination of german spoken lyrics by ursa major, the music of anton webern and the remixed multitrack material whereas premonition remix stayed instrumental only. so the cd should be filled to the edge. would presume that most of you have never heard the name of anton webern who was a composer during the fist half of the last century with a special sensivity for the quality of emptiness - what shall I say more, better you lend your ears to this timeless combination of different genres.

SO: the original album plus a remix of each part; making a cd crammed full... I wonder if this is Sylvian's remix stuff from the Camfor album or something different again... Looking forward to say the least...

very cool! THis should be quite interesting

[E.T.]

I'd like to listen to it!
I haven't listen to czukay collaborations.
today I talked to a girl, she said czukay's music was used for Japanese CM, very beautiful music, for suntory whisky or something, then there was a Czukay boom.

I think he's presuming too much here... I like Webern, but I have to say that his master, Arnold Schoenberg is probably one of my favourite composers ever, and the most important composer of the 20th century.
Webern took Schoenberg's principles to the most radical extreme, and his other pupil, Alban Berg, is great too. Not so radical, but his search for a deep beautiful aesthetic sense on his music makes him great.

It's very hard music to get into at the begining, but i think if you like Blemish, you'd like all three of them

However, it's gonna be quiet interesting to hear that new release.
