New in on Alien Transistor (which is a chap from The Notwist's label) is a 12" and CD by Chronomad which is a lovely listen. Very pretty instrumental music with lots of tablas and lush sounds. It's possibly like the mellower end of Asa Chang & Junray. I think if you liked Fourtet you'd probably like this though it's not really like Fourtet. It's got some nice Eastern sounds in it. Apparently this chap plays with Bjork from time to time. Lordy me.....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
