I’m pretty sure that I had this when it first came out, but I’ve just got it again as I’m collecting vinyl once more. It was a beautiful release back then, and still looks and sounds great today.

One of my favourite artists.
Revisiting Nine Horses
I had a 40 minute drive to do (each way) today and realised that my iPod was completely out of charge, so I had no choice but to take a couple of CDs with me for the journey. One of these was Nine Horses ‘Snow Bourne Sorrow’, which, in hindsight, as it’s been a snowy day, perhaps wasn’t such a good idea.
Anyway, I listened to Snow Bourne Sorrow on the way home, and I was so pleased that I did. It has amazing songs, but most of all I was impressed with the quality and poignancy of the lyrical content. I’d forgotten these songs, and they deserve a listen quite regularly. So I think a Nine Horses re-listen is on the way for me very soon.
Stephan Mathieu/David Sylvian “Wandermüde”
Although I do find that the number of iterations of Mr Sylvian’s work can seem to grow and grow, I have to say that this one is quite good. Very textural and restful. I’ve really enjoyed it.
Amplified Gesture
As a long time fan of David Sylvian I’m intrigued to find out what this film’s like. I did see a film of his about the release of Manafon. I saw that at the ICA in London. It was quite exciting really. As far as I’m aware there was no such event for this film. A shame really.
Implausible Beauty (a calendar)
Something I got for Christmas. David Sylvian’s ‘Implausible Beauty’ calendar. It’s rather lovely. I think I should look at it a bit more.
