Description
Two-disc deluxe 180g vinyl version in heavy, rigid card gatefold sleeve; limited to one time pressing of 1200 units. Original sessions recorded between 2004-2007. Produced, engineered, edited and mixed by David Sylvian at Samadhisound 2008.
For the recording of Manafon, Sylvian was also inspired by the Welsh poet R. S. Thomas: lyrics often reflect the main themes written by the poet and the title of the album refers indeed to a Welsh namesake village in which Thomas lived for a while.
"Manafon is indeed a village in Wales, a village in which Thomas lived for sometime and served as rector to the parish. In this small village, Thomas had trouble filling the pews of a Sunday but in a sense it was something of an idyllic spot in which to raise a child (a strict, taciturn and somewhat indifferent parent), master his profession and write his poetry. So, the physically real village became for me a metaphor for the poetic imagination."
Please check out my excellent feedback and if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to ask.
