Japanese pressing includes the exclusive bonus track 'Birds Sing For Their Lives'. Album from David Sylvian, his brother Steve Jensen and the well respected Burnt Friedman who together have produced an album which breaks boundaries, fusing styles whilst delivering beautiful pop melodies and stunning vocals on songs that Sylvian fans everywhere are bound to fall in love with; plus guest appearances from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Stina Nordenstam, Arve Henriksen and many more.
Nine Horses brings together David Sylvian, his brother Steve Jansen (also ex-Japan), and the innovative composer Burnt Friedman. "Wonderful World" is the first single release to be taken from the acclaimed Nine Horses album "Snow Borne Sorrow". It features a previously unreleased composition, ‘When Monday Comes Around’, along with a radio edit of "Wonderful World". Presented in a digipak featuring the beautifully minimal artwork of US artist Wes Mills, designed by Chris Bigg, this release continues samadhisound’s commitment to creating beautifully packaged, stunning music.
Like everything else he does, musical iconoclast David Sylvian's idea of a retrospective compilation is very different from the norm. Sleepwalkers is a 16-track, hour-plus collection focused on his many collaborations during the previous decade. Included are alternate takes from his own albums, remixes, reworked material and his contributions to the albums of others. There is one new cut, pointing to the future: "Five Lines" with Japanese composer Dai Fujikura, is a complex art song with a string quartet. (According to Sylvian, Fujikura is working with him on a completely new, orchestral version of Manofon.) This new piece is one of the many highlights.
