Both? You must be traveling a lot he's also coming to the netherlands first three days of October, but I think only to play new versions of older songs; I'd rather hear the Nine Horses material.
David is sublime independently from his collaborations. With a voice like that, focussing only on the instrumental creations is missing the point a bit,although I can't really talk, I collected all his stuff maniacally with my sister. I'm glad I saw him live already or I couldn't survive all the waiting, it's getting harder and harder to attend concerts

About twelve years ago BBC Radio 1 FM had a listeners' poll to determine the most beautiful songs ever written. Top three were "Northern Sky", "When Poets Dream Of Angels" and "Little Star".
I bought the album money for all yesterday with the brilliant Birds Sing For Their Lives track. I totally love it! Of course I have heard the track many times before but still it's great to have it for real.
I've just read an unsubstantiated claim on a website review page that David Sylvian went to Stockholm to record Stina's contributions in May 2003, nearly two and a half years before the Nine Horses album was released.
Interesting info I guess for anyone charting a Stina time-line.
I've just remembered that in that Groove magazine (published 1st September 2004) interview,Stina commented "I am now working with David Sylvian (and Steve Jansen.)"
Maybe the Stina's two contributions to the project were seperated by fifteen months?
