And “Atom And Cell” is imo one of the best Sylviansongs ever, by the way. DS wrote the lyrics – and the music, with brother Steve Jansen. You can also hear the piano-playing of Ryuichi Sakamoto and the carefully groping trumpet-lines of Arve Henriksen. The notorious, meditative and minimalistic 3/4 time is pushing your consciousness deep into every atom and cell of this song – with its wonderful lyrics and the bluesy, deep Sylvian-voice. Together with the video-clip it is nothing less than art, as one of the YouTube-commentaries remarks. Remembering french Philosopher Paul Virilios warning of high-tempo stagnation, one might get a glimpse of the magic, that a real slowdown implies.
