Surely any listeners inclined to be alienated have already been so..have they not? I can't imagine that Sylvian is sitting around placating certain types of people to hopefully keep them in his fan base. I think the more likely scenario is that he has created a new track that he feels represents a strong artistic statement in a succinct manner..so much so that he felt compelled to release it quickly and to stand on it''s own.
That it is beautiful, has a rhythm, and may even possibly be somewhat conventional is not a knock on Sylvian or his fans that appreciate that type of music.
