David Sylvian: Nine Horses/Snow Borne Sorrow ...
David Sylvian's Back! For those fans scared off by the radical, inaccessible "Blemish", It's good to see that Nine Horses, David Sylvian's collaboration with Steve Jansen and Burnt Friedman, is a welcome return to form...other guests include Ryuichi Sakamoto and Stina Nordenstam.... echoes of Secrets from The Beehive, Rain Tree Crow, and even Japan surface from this release, especially on tracks like The Day Earth Stole Heaven, Wonderful World and Serotonin...the usual mix of otherworldly Jazz, Minimalism, Pop, Folk and Electronica...

Thank you Paligap ~ I cannot wait to hear this. He is in my top ten and I've really been missing him. Blemish was SO painful. Do you have any of his videos? Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

 Yeah, Blemish WAS kinda rough!
I have some video, stuff like Red Guitar, The Ink In The Well, Silver Moon, and Jean the Birdman, Orpheus... and I think I still have the Japan "Oil On Canvas" concert... ...

Ordered my copy from Amazon and it arrived last Saturday. Since then, I can´t stop listening to it. I think this is his best album since the Rain Tree Crow Project and definately a must-have for anyone who likes David Sylvian.
When I first listened to it my impressions were a bit mixed because I expected something more commercial sounding as stated in the reviews I read. But it grew very fast on me on repeated listening. My favorite tracks are Darkest Birds, Snow borne sorrow and The Librarian. The artwork is very nice too as are the new promo-shots. David looks very young in them. | |

I agree! I liked his Dead Bees On A Cake, too, but this one might be edging it out.... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Can you compare it at all to Secrets of the Beehive ~ my favourite of his albums? Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

It's Probably not quite as engaging as that record, but I do think it's somewhere between that one and his 1998 album, "Dead Bees On A Cake"... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

"Secrets....." is my favorite album too. Snow Borne Sorrow has even more jazz influences i would say and the lyrics are much more "direct" and not as abstract as in Davids 80s work. But I don´t think you can really compare both albums. When'd it come out?
It was officially released on Oct. 17 and the orders arrive now. | |
