Nope. I can't swear to it. I had a Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares album published by 4AD many years ago and I'm equally sure this was on that but again I can't swear to that. Either way we both agree its Bulgarian and not Sylvian and the most famous female Bulgarian choir is the State Choir. I'd thought Preparations for a Journey contained all Sylvian music which is why I was surprised and why I mentioned it.

Yes it's Le Mystere, if you look at the comments on Part 1 of this, I list the running order of the music...

I really love Sylvian: gentle voice, gentle hands, gentle photographic eye. His photo collages are very David Hockney, it seems. But Warhol also did a lot with Polaroids, distorting them, etc. Attending to David Sylvian's world is so good for one's own creativity, I think. Thanks for posting this.

..although having said that Trio Bulgarka are very well known. I'll have to admit to being a bit ignorant of Bulgarian music.

[BurningLexicon]

Are you sure? I think it's Trio Bulgarka. I think I remember this track being on an album of theirs I used to have.

[zogthedoomed]

That's le Voix Bulgares .. the Bulgarian National Female Voice Choir.
