According to the text section on the site, Jan Bang and Erik Honore' fleshed out Certain Slant Of Light with various samples and from what was available to hear in the clip, they removed Sylvian's acoustic guitar, so I suppose it is accurate to label it a remix in some sense. They've even added a second section to the track by incorporating some of Arve Henriksen's trumpet playing.
Evidently, the track Anomaly At Taw Head was a bonafide outtake from the London sessions for Manafon. Sylvian edited and rearranged the material, and two different versions are included in the final outcome...Evan Parker's sax and Marcios Mattos' cello made the cut. I was also pleasantly surprised to read that Keith Rowe made the cut on the dark and foreboding title track.
