News taken entirely from davidsylvian.net:
Small Metal Gods is "probably the title of the upcoming single taken from the long awaited album Manafon. Manafon is about to be released this summer. The recording sessions have been filmed while in progress. There is a small possibility that these will be released later on DVD.
David himself describes (the album) as:
a completely modern kind of chamber music. Intimate, dynamic, emotive, democratic, economical.
It's almost certain that the following contributers will be included on the final cut: Keith Rowe, Sachiko Matsubara, Evan Parker, Christian Fennesz, members of Polwechsel, Otomo Yoshihide and John Tilbury.
From good sources it is told that there are no percussionists! The basic arrangement is an improvised backdrop with spare overdubs supporting Sylvian’s voice. Lyrical themes concern the loss of faith, life as a quixotic and isolated individuals and creativity.
LIM says: Phew!
