which recording is this???

mine is VERY different!! DID you alter it somehow?

They are different but close as well...some things exactly the same others slightly different, like clearer or slower or with more crispness...I am in awe of this stuff since it came out new,I listen to this and other sylvian/czukay stuff EVERY night almost to go to sleep to! I have a compilation mini disc 158 minutes long with all this ambient stuff! I want this version! write to me and we can trade versions!

@SSEanBarr this is the remixed version that can be found on the david sylvian cd "camphor" bonus disc.

I always loved the albums Sylvian made with Czukay. They cross the time as absolute flux of experience. I can feel the winter in your video.

Well done!

Feels like anyone who has loved this for as long as I have is a friend for life.

[ghostsonatasong]

Plight and Premonition is one of the best ambient album's of all time. Period.

aaaah yes...the death rattle....scared the bejeezus outta me too...now i embrace it...

I walked into a record shop in Norwich in 1980, there was the Quiet Life album. I was 15 years old.Something about the front cover drew me in, that was it. So began a life long love of Sylvian and other associated artists. I`ll be forever grateful..

Plight and Premonition IS the best ambient album's ever made. I've listened to these two tracks probably more than anything and never tire of it.

@aramanth The same here! It was 25 years ago

[bogdanbackup]

I purchased this album by total accident in 1987 in Paris, great!

Life/Death = Yin/Yang....

[aramanth]

When I first bought Plight and Premonition I got the idea to listen to it in the dark...... big mistake! Lol when the "death rattle" noise erupted at 0:46 I was completely freaked out!! Very wintry and very eerily beautiful...

For me this piece exudes like raw moods... A great pairing of artists....

[JackUK93]

sounds like it should be in a film as a soundtrack

[shum65]

Great track, so atmospheric matched only by your brilliant video mate. love all those

images...David was always experimental, sadly these days most artists are too

frightened to open themselves up, such a shame.... :-))
