Caught In The Wake Forever "Against A Simple Wooden
Cross"

I've been listening to a pre-release copy of this album from
Hibernate, a label that can do no wrong these days when it
comes to ambient/drone/modern classical music. I had not
heard Caught In The Wake Forever until I heard this new
album and I immediately began looking at other releases.
It's a beautiful album mixed with field recordings,
electric/acoustic guitar, piano and ambient soundscapes.
Highly recommended.

You can download a free 2 track album collaboration with
Caught In A Wake, Karina ESP and Sheepdog on his Bandcamp
page (flac or whatever format you select) called Sadness &
Static. It's a nice intro to his style although I would
describe the new record as having more song structure and it
also has some vocal tracks (beautiful too).

Richard, you may like this one.

Btw, I'm still searching for that tune linked to the Edmund Fitzgerald video.

Angus Stone's album Broken Bells. Try out this recommendation! Brand new excellent Australian folk album which will not disappoint.

Lymbyc Systym, Symbolyst

On Lee Ritenour's new release, "Rhythm Sessions", track 2 has Kurt Elling singing vocals on "River Man". I like this track so much I have to force myself to keep it put away so I don't over play it. I've heard of Kurt Elling, and I'm sure I've heard him sing before, but this one has me looking for more.
