This thing looks lovely. It's a DVD sized cardy thing with a mounted photo and if you check out the innards there's even more photo mounting (I love a bit of mounting), some tracing paper with words on it and there's 2 CDs (one big and one small) mounted onto 2 small black rubbery nipples. Lovely. If you've not heard these guys before then they make a very Celtic kind of traditional folk full of flutes acoustic guitar, piano, breathy vocals, some occasional droning and things like that. Personally I prefer the instrumental tracks but that's just me being misanthropic. I've heard just about enough people's voices today as I can deal with. It's their 3rd album in case you didn't know and this one features lots of guest folks like Richard Moult, Gavin Prior etc. It's a thoroughly enjoyable listen and the blend of folk and drone works rather well and succeeds in creating a unique sound.

The third Evening of Light release is a double album by Agitated Radio Pilot, the project of David Colohan. It combines the EP Lights Beneath the Lake on 3" CD-R with the compilation Nothing Is Truly Lost on 5" CD-R. The first album is a new recording focusing on an experimental mixture of folk and ambient, featuring Richard Moult, Gavin Prior, and Brian Conniffe as guest musicians. The second album collects twelve tracks that are previously unreleased or were released in the past on rare compilations. Here too, David combines beautiful songs on acoustic guitar and piano with ambient and noisy instrumental compositions. It features a wide range of guest artists, including John Cavanagh, Aaron Coyne, Shane Cullinane, Annemarie Deacy, Jani Hellén, Aaron Hurley, Vicky Langan, Scott McLaughlin, Gavin Prior, Enda Trautt, and Keith Wallace.
