Featuring re-imaginings of older material, previously unused tracks plus new songs, 'Died in the Wool' sees the ex-Japan front-man surfacing again and utilising the auditory prophets he used on his 2009 work, 'Manafon', to great effect.

"Featuring re-imaginings of older material, previously unused tracks plus new songs, David Sylvian's 'Died in the Wool' sees the ex-Japan front-man surfacing again and utilising the players he used on his 2009 work, 'Manafon', to once more expand his musical parameters and offer fans another side to this most sombre of artists. Said contributors on 'Died in the Wool' include such auditory prophets as Jan Bang, Evan Parker, John Tilbury, Dai Fujikura, Erik Honoré, Otoma Yoshide and Christian Fennesz. Warning: this isn't one for the casual listener wanting to sample David's style; it's for the hardcore fans only. No bad thing though, aye? ;-)"
