Room 40 isn't a label for you non adventurous types. You indie kids who love a bit of fun should probably stay clear of the seriousness that is Room 40. Hey it's an interesting label though and if you feel like broadening your mind without getting spazzed off your cake on 'clarky cat' then maybe you should check it out. 2 new releases this week on the label. The first one is by Leighton Craig with his CD entitled '11 Easy Pieces'. This is reasonably easy listening as far as the label goes. Some gentle experimentation with cheap analogue keyboards (including his instrument of choice the Casio MT40). There's something very church like about it on some of the tracks. It almost makes me want to dress like a bishop. I love dressing up as bishops. You can't beat it. You really can't. Anyway this all sounds very DIY and like it was recorded at his kitchen table which a lot of it (weirdly) was. There's something quite charming about this and if you fancy a gentle exploration of keyboard and melody then all you need is this CD and some ears. Nice.

Leighton Craig - 11 Easy Pieces: A warm collection of distorted hymnals for Casio Keyboard from Brisbane resident Leighton Craig (recently featured in the WIRE's Global Ear).
