David Sylvian - Preparations For A Journey - Part1

Preparations For A Journey is a short documentary that accompanied the short film "Steel Cathedrals" on the Japanese only laser disc. The documentary follows David's brief work with Polaroid montages, which lead to his book "Perspectives" and an exhibition at Hamiltons gallery in London.

Sylvian discovers existentialism, walks through a forest and looks magnificent and moody. That'll do me thank you very much. 10 minutes of aching nostalgia that brings peace to a troubled mind

Ive only seen this once in 1986, and still like this type of art format, music,vision

[@ferroxglideh5621]

This music is so finely wrought, it is timeless.

Which was a marketing line brought up by their PR.

[@barrieshea]

Great artworks of DS that still shine thru today. Please show more. Thanks

[@KarlHainer]

This track is outstanding

[@csfan65]

This should have been released on dvd years ago, as well as David's other video work. I don't understand why record companies (or whoever owns the licenseing rights) to all of this great stuff just will not put it out on dvd. They are robbing us of so much great stuff.

[@danavixen6274]

Johnny Buck I agree! At least it's on TH-cam.

[@moodyb]

Some of it was released on the Alchemy EP.
Sadly, the rest of the sound track was never officially released...

[@KarlHainer]

A DS DVD (OFFICIAL) is long overdue. Dare I suggest a few songs past & present, an interview in a few parts. DAVID KNOWS BETTER THAN ME

[@moodyb]

You're welcome, enjoy!

[@TomMarrJohnson]

Fabulous. Do you know what the music is? I mean, after the preparations for a journey bit at the beginning?

[@nicck]

An index of possibilities...

[@moodyb]

You will notice that this is part 1 of 3...

Me too, but I'm a girl and he's hundreds times more beautiful than me... :(
