Looks like I might have been the first person to spot this.
The soundtrack DS did for the 'When loud weather buffeted Naoshima' installation will be released on CD (sound cd ss0011), seemingly not (or in addition to) as a download from the Sylvian site.

So, there you go.

Hurrah! Got my ticket finally for the festival hall. Thought I was going to miss out too!

Cheers all

Interesting to see the new biography - very impersonal and distancing, imo. It reads like the press releases Virgin used to issue, tossing in appropriate quotes for good measure or the wanky writing found in corporate brochures (spoutage provided by CEO and assorted VPs).

Good news about the release though.

well, the biography seems to be mainly based on http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/f ... id-sylvian same writer of course. but i find that article quite personal.

That old interview is very personal but it's also a dialogue between two people - the format itself makes it personal.

Hid old bio, which I'm guessing he wrote, read like he was talking directly to the reader - the new one doesn't. It sounds like bits and pieces were pulled together from another source and in fact that's what it is.

I miss the personal aspect of it - there's so little of that type of thing on the site as it is, the photos are the exception. I prefer how Steve has developed his portion of the site. Just me being a fan and looking for that personal involvement factor...
