The finest late-period Sylvian is here: I Should Not Dare and A Certain Slant Of Light; beautiful beyond words.
cjerde Nov 24, 2021
The fidelity of these recordings are the finest I have heard. On headphones even better.
jkbrogan Nov 8, 2019
Manafon is one of my all-time favorite albums, and having missed out on this for many years, I finally acquired a copy. I love it!
rebelliousjukebox Jan 9, 2019
I adore Manafon, and these versions are a revelation. I wish there was a vinyl pressing!

The whole Manafon-thing was a huge faliure and making a remix of it?? Huh.... D.S. used to be my hero but now it seems he has lost of sense with the "reality". His singing is very boring, the album is tasteless. It's a noise-pollution! ! ! ! ! !
