mmm. are you a musician? I am a seasoned none, and what he does is very well done. He's at least on par with Moby.

I don't know, FlyingPig, I am sincerely surprised any musician could actually be encouraged by the SMG remix. I suppose my outlook is slightly different due to being a drummer, because it sounds to me as if this person made no effort at all to synch up the original vocals to the rhythm he devised for the synthetic percussion and the chord changes. It sounds to me as if two separate songs are simply being played on top of each other all at once with no relationship between them. (Wait, I've heard that said about Manafon - so perhaps that was the intention) Yet, on top of that, the church choir sound from that almost heavenly keyboard sort of seems inappropriate when you take the lyrical theme into account.
I have to conclude that the remixer was interested in creating a polar opposite of Sylvian's intentions and so I can understand how someone who is disturbed by his recent work would gravitate towards this. But the use of so much reverb actually caused me to cringe in discomfort. Thank goodness the 80s are a distant memory as far as Sylvian is concerned and yet here is this remixer attempting to rehash such a dated sound in the 21st century. At least the drum programming sounds somewhat akin to the fashionable styles of the late 90s so he is a little more recent in that aspect.
