I've been hooked on Hampshire & Foat material since I first stumbled across the debut album 'Galaxies Like Grains Of Sands' on Athens Of The North. Hampshire & Foat are otherwise known as Warren Hampshire who is part of the group The Bees and Greg Foat, who you may know from The Greg Foat Group. I have to confess to not knowing their previous works, it was down to following the label that I came across them, and I'm glad I did.

This, as the previous releases takes in influence from ambient, jazz and folk genres which makes for a lovely combination. This LP was recorded live in two churches on the Isle Of Wight with the tracks named after local landmarks. Have a listen, if vinyl is your thing, don't sleep on it. There are only 500 pressed and no represses.

The new release from Jonny Nash on the Music From Memory label takes his sound to a new level for me. I've always enjoyed his work, especially his solo work and his collaborations with Suzanne Kraft, but this is his best yet. For me, this is a much more refined piece of ambient music, it is much more subtle and emotive. I won't drone on about it, as I often say... I don't do reviews. This is thoroughly recommended though. Click play, enjoy and pick it up. It's available on vinyl as well as digital; seek and you shall find.
