Already Morning - Carin Bartosch Edstrom - Clarinetto Con Forza - Already Morning (Redan Morgon) was premiered at the Bastad Chamber Music Festival in the summer of 2004. Carin says: It's a little story that all parents of small children can recognize. It takes place in the borderland between sleep and waking, where dreams, memories amd alarm clocks are woven together.
Ne Nehledej (Stop Searching) - Iva Bittova - self titled - Iva is a Czech avant-garde violinist, singer and composer. She began her career as an actress in the mid 1970s. but switched to playing violin and singing in the early 1980s. She started recording in 1986 and by 1990 her unique vocal and instrumental technique gained her international recognition.
Sonny's Dream - The Clydesiders - Scottish Country Roads - Choosing the tracks for a new album is always really difficult - there's five of us in the band, all with our own ideas and influences, and the Clydesiders have always avoided being stuck in any one particular folk category. IMHO, Sonny's Dream was a "no-brainer".
Plague Of Love - Katie Melua - The House - One reviewer (RH) says of "Plague of Love" "a sassy pop-rocker that sounds like Enya with backbone".

Dance Dance Dance - Lykke LI - Youth Novels - Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson (born 18 March 1986), better known by her stage name Lykke Li is a Swedish indie singer. Her forthcoming album has been titled "Wounded Rhymes". Should be a fine follow-upo to Youth Novels.
Dumbarton's Drums - Jim Brannigan - Troubadour - Jim says: If I had to come up with the most memorable gig of my career, I'd be hard pushed to remember anything that surpassed the four summer seasons I spent playing at the "Yellow Cello" in Baddeck, Cape Breton. Just a sixty seat restaurant which pushed two hundred & fifty customers through each night and every night, a different crowd. If you look through my guest book, you will find many visitors whom I met and played for at that marvellous little venue. I miss Cape Breton in the way that I miss my true home. I love her people and the whole way of life there. Maybe some day, I'll go back to stay.
Kamehameha Waltz - Emma Veary - The Best of Emma - a beautiful singer with a beautiful voice, was a class act in Honolulu back in the ‘70s, headlining shows at the Halekulani and Royal Hawaiian Hotels.

Chasing Rainbows - Esther O'Connor - Right Here - Esther’s new album Right Here, despite not having the backing of a major label, has been causing a stir the length and breadth of Scotland. It has already garnered a score of glowing reviews and surely is a prelude to the meteoric assent that this talented singer seems destined for.
