Interesting that there's been nary a peep from Samadhisound about this impending release. Usually the label sends out emails about upcoming material long before the product 's artwork or track listing is even finalized.
If indeed the report is true and David Sylvian has a CD entitled "Manafon" in the offing, I suspect that the choice of title has nothing to do with the well-known location in Wales. Instead, it's probably some kind of esoteric, prehistoric Ainu term for "undocumented states of spiritual transcendence from corporeal boundaries established by rare animist cults of outsiders with flashing eyes who wear goat skins in tranquil rain" or something equally pretentious and unfathomable.
On the other hand, it could refer to a surrealist dream in which a hybrid creature is born of the love of a manatee for a telephone. . . Now, that would be fun!
