I recommend it, it's on Youtube. One problem however you'll wonder what they are talking about once or twice because it's expected you read the introduction in the book first before watching. I think the 'samadhisound.com' section here gives a good overview of the thing: http://www.davidsylvian.net/releases/regulars/13-video/1600-amplified-gesture.html

Bumping to give credit to how incredible I Should Not Dare is, that could have easily ended this album.

it's good but a bit too poppy and overall not on manafon's level imo

one song that i absolutely love from died in the wool is "the last days of december", although that one also doesn't fit stylistically on manafon

I think having a more bright, accessible closing song to Manafon would have been breathtaking to contrast with the rest of the album. Plus it means the most accessible tracks on the album are the bookends, which I think is great thematically. Despite that, I wouldn't change the t/t as the closer since I love that too.
