Brian Eno ‘s new album will be on release through Warp Records. Entitled ’Small Craft On A Milk Sea’, the LP will be released in the UK on 15 Nov and was created with the help of electronica producer Jon Hopkins and frequent Eno collaborator Leo Abrahams.

The new CD by the young and quite extraordinary French jazz sextet Rockingchair will be released by Enja/Yellowbird; release in France is November 4, just in time for their concerts at the prestigious London Jazz Festival in November and at La Dynamo de Banlieues Bleues in December.

September 8 is the last day of the London Proms festival and a day of great honor for any band that is invited to perform. The reincarnated Penguin Café Orchestra led by Arthur Jeffes are the lucky ones!
