CLIVE BELL is Britain’s leading player of the Japanese shakuhachi, and a founder member of Jah Wobble’s Deep Space project. DAVID ROSS was drummer for the instrumental combo Kenny Process Team. But none of this would prepare you for Mystery Lights, their first duo recording. This is a spacious, intimate music, full of colour and melody, exploratory but highly accessible. Many instruments, both acoustic and electronic, familiar and unfamiliar, weave a spell hard to resist. This album was made in collaboration with Walter & Donald the budgerigars (parakeets to American readers). Recorded live at “The Earl of Kilgorlin”. CD includes a video playable on any PC (not included with digital album).

Reviews

The Wire

This is a lovely record. Intimate and unassuming, it sounds like nothing else and imparts a warmth that deepens with each listen. It’s music to furnish the secluded corners and secret recesses of the mind, catering from quiet times.
