Friedman & Liebezeit / Nine Horses / Remixes

The exclusive vinyl release OUT IN THE STICKS (non17, May 2005) received this review: (...) This is a dream, a blueprint, a map, an invocation, an instruction. You will recall its wide, twilit estuaries and long shadowy halls when you next sleep and forget them when you awake. (...) Accompanying Friedman is his long-time collaborator, the legendary Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit. And pulling the track together and setting it quietly ablaze with St. Elmo's fire we've got the words and voice of David Sylvian, whose poetic talents never cease to amaze me. Sylvian/Friedman fans should be forewarned that this track is a bit of a teaser: Sylvian, Friedman, and Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen are releasing a full album under the name NINE HORSES on Sylvian's label samadhisound later this year that will contain a slightly different version of "The Librarian." seems to speak to these weird, through-the-looking-glass days we're living now, where alarming news is coupled with fervent admonitions to go on as if all is well, and we all seem to be drifting through a vast amniotic sea of misinformation and opinion-masquerading-as-fact. As Sylvian says: "It's one outrageous lie after another. Turn the lights out, change the channel, before we lose hope."
