Marking Time by Richard Skelton
"‘Marking Time’ is Richard’s first widely available record and might be the most perfect distillation of his sound to date. Using a selection of bowed string instruments and lavishing these sustained howls with the most delicate of fingerpicked guitar and gentle piano, he takes us through a most harrowing journey. These short songs are deft and deeply touching musings on loss and of the importance of time. Comparisons could be made to plenty of Richard’s modern-classical or avant folk contemporaries but few imbue their music with such a deep sense of humanity and patience. This is an album which truly rewards those who give it the time it commands."

Retold by Nest
A few weeks back, a package arrived from Wales containing a nicely crafted disc of music from Nest, which consists of Otto Totland from Deaf Center and Huw Roberts, who runs Serein. It will be released January 31, 2010, and it is definitely worth picking up.
