I don't recall reading this before but at this link David Sylvian discusses meeting and recording with Stina.

Good find, RobB, I don't remember seeing that partic. interview snippet before.
I love the way he says 'so we made contact' as if it was the easiest thing in the world. He's probably one of the last people to have succeeded!

And those two Nine Horses tracks are among the best things Stina ever did, IMHO, definitely among the very best of her collaborations. What they did with the 'couple of verses' (I assume 'Birds sing for their lives') in a short time is masterly.

At least David & Steve had the good manners to go to Stina rather than expect her to go them.

As a result not only did they acquire Stina's participation in their Nine Horses project but also got a guided tour of Stockholm thrown in for good measure.

A little more info from David about the recording session with Stina. At least we now know when the session was held.
