woodzee I'd been intrigued to hear this for a while. Having been familiar with Maria's vocals from Kamel Nitrate and Pete's music from Orchid-Star. On first impressions it doesn't disappoint. Favorite track: Ela É Mar.

about

In 1996 a dying hard-drive stopped us from properly finishing our first album. When we put out what should have been our second, Almost Forgetting to Breathe, we started selling cassettes of the unfinished first at gigs, as 'Unavailable at all Good Record Shops', and even put a mastered version out on CDR when we released our third, Enfeiticada - both of which were very dubious decisions considering just how bad some of the mixes were.
The album has now been reconstructed using the original 8-track recordings, live backing tracks, tiny portions of the original mixes and a small amount of programming to replace missing parts.

Glow & the Dept. of Luminosity London, UK

Glow was started by Pete Ardron and Maria João Branco in '93 and gigged between '95 and '00 with long-time partners Karl Walinets and Bagpuss, (WOMAD breaking their own rules against gigs in consecutive years in '98 and '99).
