Neues Album des introvertierten Singer/Songwriters und früheren Kopfes der Band Japan. David Sylvian ist weit entfernt vom Mainstream und mit 'Manafon' bringt er ein Werk, das nicht nebenbei gehört werden will, sondern die ganze Aufmerksamkeit erfordert. Schwermütig-düster-melancholische Songs mit freejazzigen Querschlägern erinnern an Scott Walker. "If there is a single theme that runs through David Sylvian's Manafon, it's simply: 'No hope...no doubt.' Like 2003's Blemish, it's a rather difficult record, and its emotional and spiritual cousin. It's dark, fraught with emotional and musical difficulty, nonlinear sounds and improvised music, and lyric themes that express a tension between hopelessness and the love of everyday life ... Sylvian's voice is front and center; it is so prominent that despite all of the instrumentation, in whatever musical conflagration chosen for a particular track, the voice is almost on its own ... 'Manafon' is a quiet yet forceful stunner, a recording that, if heard, is literally unforgettable" (www.allmusic.com). - Ein verstörendes, aber intensives, hörenswertes Werk.
