A calm veteran of the underground Swansea scene in the early 1990's, James has struggled through fire and water to produce his stunning and unique music, which often resembles both.

Another experimental soundscape project, Bass Communion is the ambient work of Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree. It is both mesmerising and cutting-edge, and embodies the pure moods of its creator. |
