Sylvian Hits It Back
Ex-vocalist of the British new wave band Japan David Sylvian had finished working with his new solo album. This talented musician is famous for the variety of experiments with music and particularly new sounds that may be classified as part of the new age. His official web site says that “Manafon” is going to come out on September 14. Another cool record that may be interesting to those who worth experimental and chill out sound. Besides regular release fans should see the double CD version, which is going to include a documentary called “Amplified Gesture” that tells about how this album was made. As DavidSylvian.net notes, “Manafon” which contains nine tracks was recorded in Vienna, London and Tokyo. A song “Small Metal Gods” is seen as the possible first single and if everything goes smooth it may reach certain number on the British music charts. Obviously David Sylvian was not the only person to produce this record, particularly here is the short list of those who were built into the process: Christian Fennesz, guitarist Keith Rowe, Japanese electronic musicians Sachiko Matsubara and Otomo Yoshihide, saxophonist Evan Parker, pianist John Tilbury and members of the Austrian band Polwechsel. In other words it seems like something big, so those who worth this kind of music don’t miss to follow it all.
