Canterbury duo Ultramarine have had a thirty year career on the fringes of Acid and Ambient that has passed me by until now. Their latest record, Signals into Space is just out and it's rather lovely, perhaps directed for the most part at a clubbing crowd pushing into middle age and looking to chill more than they used to in their prime, but there's nowt wrong with that.
Here are three tracks that give you some idea about how it sounds. The first two with regular collaborator Anna Domino sounding by turns like Laurie Anderson and someone borrowed off a Massive Attack record. Plus an instrumental set to send you, altogether pleasantly, off towards the land of nod. Probably not about to move mountains commercially but made by people who very much know what they're doing and a very nice record indeed.
