![]() His quiet, warm vocals add melodic subtlety and providing depth and drama without adding distraction. But the music is mostly in the background serving as a platform and even more as a challenge for Sylvian to stretch beyond previously settled patterns. It lurches from savage discordance to near silence. ![]() It is a rough terrain with burbling low frequencies, sometimes unidentifiable and haunting noises, and a sense of unease. This recording is what we have come to expect from Sylvian: creative splashes of sounds and unique stylings, where various patterns emerge, dissolve, fade and reappear, where the unexpected is always the norm. So it should come as no surprise that his eclectic muse has led him to a new sonic neighborhood with Manafon. Over the years he has covered a lot of ground, from pop music to gentle, ambient soundscapes, prog rock and fiery, avant-garde experimentation. Singer David Sylvian has had such an unpredictable and diverse recording career that it is interesting to see what will come next.
