Hi
Some good news for SamadhiSound and David
Sweet Billy Pilgrim's Twice Born Men has been short listed for this years
Mercury Prize. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8159078.stm
Named after an organisation for ex-Vietnam soldiers, Sweet Billy Pilgrim's Twice Born Men was recorded on a laptop in a garden shed.
It's the second album from session musicians Tim Elsenburg, Anthony Bishop and Alistair Hamar and was released by former Japan star David Sylvian's label.
The band, who formed in 2003, say they "scrape strings and tap away at laptops trying to make beautiful things with steady hands and empty pockets".
Upon its release in March, Twice Born Men was the Sunday Times' Album of the Week. One review said it contained "tiny symphonies in a vacuum".
