Listening to David Sylvian’s music … Manafon

David Sylvian, Manafon

Another problematic album to listen to, but it’s actually very good when you give it a chance and listen to it with focus and care it is well worth it. There’s a huge amount of depth and beauty in these songs. There’s always something new to find in each one, but it does require patience and that’s not always easy. Neither are these pieces, but just because they’re not easy does not mean that they’re not good. They are.

I’ve posted on this before, but here’s a little reminder. The event will be completely amazing, or at least I hope so anyway. It’s starting to shape up now and really come together.

If you’re interested in attending or being a part of it in some way, then take a look at this page on the SoundLab web site.

Awesome news! The Tenth Doctor and Donna return with Big Finish

This really is excellent. There was a rumour that this was coming and I really hoped it would, and it has. It’s a long time to wait, the first volume is out in May next year, but at least it’s coming, and, if it’s volume 1 in May, then there’s sure to be a volume 2 not too far behind!

Listening to Blemish again

This is a difficult album. Not an easy listen at all. I remember when it first came out, it left a lot of people cold, and I think that back then I wasn’t sure what to make of it either.

Now I find that I actually quite like it. Even the contributions from Derek Bailey, which were very difficult listening. I like the album now. But it does require a more concentrated form of listening. Something more focused. It isn’t the kind of listening that I can do casually.

But I think it’s an album that’s worth listening to every now and then.
