Beautiful spring sunshine covering the North west these past few days: Here is some aural gorgeousness for you.
Roll The Dice is a collaboration between two of Sweden's finest studio scientists Peder Mannerfelt and Malcolm Pardon (Mannerfelt is also part of the Fever Ray project). They share a studio in Stockholm, so a collaborative project was always on the cards. The album is semi-improvised using only pianos & synths: 'A working method was established where the duo would enter the studio with no pro-conceived ideas, inspiring a freeform aesthetic which found structure in repetition and understated progression'. The results are wonderful, very reminiscent of the
Delia & Gavin record from a couple of years back. You can buy it

Roll The Dice- The New Black (Download)White Lunar is a collection of Nick Cave & Warren Ellis's finest cinematic output (from films such as The Proposition, The Road etc):
'The first CD has the big themes, the orchestra and the songs and the second CD is fractured, haunting and sometimes badly behaved'.
As you'd expect, a beautiful collection. Perfect for floating downstream too. You can make your purchase
