*insert pretty piano break*



Also to praise Manafon more, if you take all the new songs from Manafon Variations (including to 20 minute one) into one album you get an album just as good as this imo, it's like a sequel to this.

Yea MV is very good.



He posted an intriguing picture on Twitter recently that could be a hint at new music. Probably just another weird side project haha, but ya never know.

I don't use Twitter too often but I've seen him retweet posts by Sarah Silverman multiple times, pretty surprising haha

"damn he's REALLY political and predictable on twitter. a bit of a let down."



I fail to see how this is surprising, he's always been very political and outspoken about these topics.



As for "predictable," I fail to see how that is so.

predictable as in people sharing links to certain crisis on social media and thinking that its in any way significant to actually helping the problem/ issue they claim to care about. sylvian posts like a college kid. but I get that its the current fashion so I can't be too critical. he is a genius after all.

Agreed AaS. Sylvian has an album or two I would call 'genius'. Though I can't think of what they all sound like off the top of my head. I remember this being good.

No wonder you feel let down about a dude sharing stuff on a politicized social media platform, you hold him up to a pedestal lmao (and again, artists/celebrities/famous persons have been doing for ages, this is not some current trend -- there's a reason why Bob Geldof and Bono are so far up their own asses)

Limited boxset edition (not signed) is being sold on eBay like new for £50, a steal. I suggest to get on it if you can: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/David-Sylvian-Manafon-CD-DVD-Deluxe-Edition/163675126841?hash=item261bcc3c39:g:Wf4AAOSww4BczBIq

Diving right into the inaccessible deep end with this album when it comes to DS but I hope you like it (plus I'll take any chance I can get to talk about this album heh).
