Setting up camp where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean, Wilson and Tanner tuned into nature, translating the warm sun, sea air and blue sky into a postcard from paradise. Lithe clarinet dances around tranquil piano, relaxed guitar decorates velvet synth textures and unhurried percussion makes an occasional appearance, as if to remind us that time’s still passing.

Here's the first solo album of Denmark's keyboard master Kenneth Knudsen. He played the synths in Secret Oyster, Coronarias Dans and Entrance before starting to do his own thing. After recording this album he founded the group Anima.

The title track of this LP is a 9 and a half minute long solo piano piece. Really amazing imho. But check out also the the second soundclip with the noodly synth prog tunes Önde Age and Week-End Dear featuring Kasper Winding on drums.

"Ghosts of Industrial Sunday" is a short film by Maria Assunta Karini and Francesco Paolo Paladino, whose music were composed by Simon Fisher Turner (Deux Filles, Jeremy's Secret, The King Of Luxemburg, SFT). This release consists of a video DVD, which contains the film, and a audio CD that features the original soundtrack and other compositions inspired by this project that Turner created on purpose; they are accompanied by an oversize 20 pages booklet that offers some images taken from the film and delves more into the concept behind it.

The music created by Turner as a soundtrack to the film expresses a delicate tranquillity through notes of piano which are just mottled by the electronic elements in the background, while an unspoken sense of drama hovers in the air and the circular motion of the composition gradually absorbs the listener.
