David Sylvian's music is something of a miracle of originality and sensibility.

[@alexfxpt]

It surely is. Thanks for your message

[@ericbruyn]

He has such a warm and comforting voice. It caresses the soul

I have but one word for this (and the other tracks you have reworked so far) - Sublime. As the sounds and the atmosphere builds up one almost aches to hear Sylvians voice, and when you chose to allow them in... tears flowed. Such moments are rare, thank you

[@alexfxpt]

Wow, thank you! Muito obrigado, José!! 🙏🏻

[@thomaskremski398]

Very fascinating version of the song. Unfortunately recent reality taught us again that there will not only be random acts of somewhat „senseless“ violence that will deeply interfere with our lives…

[@alexfxpt]

Thank you, Thomas 🙏

[@peterkadelbach7010]

Manfon was a challenging album for me. Lyrically and melodically adventurous but so raw and almost painful to listen to. This recomposing is a beautiful addition. Hopefully you will do more. 🤟

[@alexfxpt]

Thank you so much for your words, Peter! Yes, I've already done 4 versions/recompositions (you can find the other 3 on this channel). I'll be trying my best to do all of the "Manafon" album.

[@jimcoleman3802]

I am amazed how you have brought new life to these Sylvia’s composition. You have a great ear for telling a story through sound. I look forward to hearing more of your work.

EXCEPTIONAL MASTERY OF THE ORIGINAL BY A MASTER OF HIS ART..... BRAVO....BRAVO.....BRAVO.... I HAVE NO DOUBT DAVID SYLVIAN HAS A WARMTH IN HIS HEART WITH YOUR TREATMENT OF HIS CREATION. ALEX.....YOU ARE ALSO A MASTER OF YOUR CREATIONS. AND I STILL LOOK IN EAGERNESS AND ANTICIPATION OF A FULL REIMAGINING OF THE MANAFON WORKS BY THE FLAWLESS MASTER OF ALL HE RADIATES.... DAVID SYLVIAN. AND PLEASE DO THIS SOON....... WE REALLY NEED MORE OF THIS IN THE SHARED WORLD WE LIVE IN. 🕊✨️🙌💙🙏💚🙏💙🙏🙌✨️🐝🦋

Thanks for your words. Random footage from NY and Tokyo (I presume). I edited the video.

[@simonpurdon2318]

That's wonderful. Is it possible to download anywhere?

[@alexfxpt]

Thanks so much, Simon. Not yet. I’m (slowly) recomposing the whole Manafon album. There are 3 more here on KZbin. I’ll see what I do when the whole project finishes. Of course I’d love to have Sylvian’s approval, but I’m not doing this for the money, despite the mammoth amount of work of composing, arranging and performing on each recomposed piece. This isn’t a “remix” like some people seem to think. 🙏🏻

[@simonpurdon2318]

@@alexfxpt I can tell you've put a lot of work into these reworkings.They're quite beautiful. I've subscribed to your channel and will eagerly look forward to each new one as you post them. Thanks

Do you mix and master for other artists?

[@alexfxpt]

Used to, but not anymore. My own choice! Too little time for my own music and I’m OC about every single detail.

@@alexfxpt I can tell👍⭐️

[@ericbruyn]

Its a pitty that the title seems somehow Profetic

[@alainbialec470]

[@marcoferlini8048]

David in certi dischi si era concentrato troppo sulla sua voce, lasciando alla musica un minimalismo che non mi piaceva più di tanto (nonostante avessi amato le sue passate produzioni, comprese quelle con Holger Kzukay). L'aggiunta della tua musica, secondo me, completa e perfeziona il lavoro di David.

[@alexfxpt]

Thanks for your words, Marco. 🙏🏻

Ho pensato esattamente lo stesso. DS è un poeta come nessun altro, ma già gli ultimi album mancavano della magia dei suoni che lo rendevano ancora più suggestivo. Forse era intenzionale e aveva lo scopo di liberarci da ciò che tutti speravamo - un artista nel suo senso più vero... ma mi piacciono molto anche questi "colori" che hanno aggiunto Alex FX e João Cabrita

Forgive me for still not replying. I hope you understand the fact I do not know your language. Also, the usual auto-translation wasn’t available. Nevertheless, thanks for your input and I hope you enjoyed it.
