Snow
Borne Sorrow from 2005 is the only studio album by the art rock band Nine Horses,
a cooperation between David Sylvian, his brother Steve Jansen (also
ex-Japan), and electronics musician Burt Friedmann, with a number of
guests, most notably Stina Nordenstam and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Although not
marked as such, this very much sounds like a David Sylvian album,
returning to his jazz-influenced melodious best after the somewhat
disappointing highly experimental 2003 album Blemish. Some highlights
are Darkest Birds, The Banality Of Evil, Atom And Cell, A History Of Holes, and The Librarian.
