[/caption]David Sylvian is about to release (mid September) a new album called Manafon (lot of info here) which follow up on a previous wonderful experimental album Blemish - utilising a recordings from free jazz/improvising musicians to create a soundscape for improvised songs. Sounds wonderful and the samples I've heard make me a sad old over-excited fan! There's also an accompanying documentary (Amplified Gesture) about the musicians involved and the recording process - to be premiered at the ICA (gasp!).
