David in 2010

[dconnery1966]

What would you like David to release this year,me personally another Nine Horses album or something similar,
have a bet with my brother on this one if it ever happens,or would you like him to go down the the Manafon road again.
all the best Dougie
Ps thats if he intends to release anything this year.

There has been speculation that Sylvian has the intention to release the music from When We Return You Won't Recognise Us at some point this year - either as a digital download or a full scale cd release - and I truly hope that is accurate since there was an intriguing lineup of musicians who contributed: John Butcher, Eddie Prevost plus Dai Fujikura and a string section.
So that is all I will hope for and I'd be a contented guy if we get to hear that this year. There are going to be a lot of interesting Samadhi Sound releases this year that will keep our ears quite occupied.

Yeah Baht Habit,i have heard that as well about a release hopefully of 'When we return you wont recognise us' in what form i do not know,also something about the background music in Amplified Gesture, which was not on the Manafon album being released in the future but who knows,here is something that might interest you,this came from a good source so dont shoot the messenger here ha ha, Sylvian has been working on new material with his brother Steve Jansen,could this be for Steves next solo album or could it be another Nine Horses project is anybodys guess,who knows time will tell,i think everything looks rosy for the Samadhisound, especially with other releases on the label this year plus a few other anouncements to come, heres hoping.

That sounds excellent. I know that Jansen had made mention that he was working on composing new material for what could either turn out to be a solo project or a possible Nine Horses release - and that the final outcome would essentially hinge on Sylvian's reception to the music which was presented to him - additionally, any possible contribution from Burnt Friedman would be complimentary to the project. I'm sure any such material will be top notch in whatever form it is eventually released.

I'd like David to release an instrumental Manafon then we could hear a bit more of the musicians contributions. Seriously as much as I love his voice it's mixed way too high on this album for me.

[Adrian]

Yeah, I'd like 'When we return you won't recognize us' to be released as well. And a 2cd 'The Manafon Sessions' would be fantastic...

[Foales Arishes]

Yeah, I'd like 'When we return you won't recognize us' to be released as well. And a 2cd 'The Manafon Sessions' would be fantastic...

Yes, that would be good.

[jon abbey]

there are of course plenty of records out from all of those musicians, depending on which ones you're most interested in, I'd be happy to recommend some.

[Adrian]

and if you're interested in the most beautiful album of 2009, it's Radu Malfatti + Klaus Filip, Imaoto. Like an instrumental Manafon left under a glacier for a long time - I can't really explain why it's so beautiful, but just LISTEN to it and open your heart.

[Chet]

i'm waiting for the Manafon vinyl that will appear soon.
usually they need to make a different master for the vinyl pressing,
and who knows, maybe his voice will be a bit less loud in the mix.
well, at least that's what i hope for...

[Tin Bird]

I am w you guys on the Manafon instrumental album...I love the background sounds and think it would make a nice album. That followed w a new Nine Horses album would be splendid.

[digimarsh]

I just hope he releases something this year, anything ,so we don't have another long wait

[Q Quarters]

Wouldn't it be nice if DS released something against all our expectations. Something radically different. Maybe a Nu-Glam album?

[ScottR]

Something listenable for change would be nice.

[Q Quarters]

Something listenable for change would be nice.

What do you mean? I can singalong to most of Manafon 125 Spheres being my favourite
