As well as compositional, vocal, and ghost-music input from Clodagh Simonds, you will also find, on this occasion, Laura Sheeran (tortured and semi-hysterical vocals) and Michael Begg (inscrutable audibles), as well as the ineffable and much-loved Fabrizio Palumbo Modonese, whose unsung intonations provide equal portions of chill and warmth. Strangely satisfying all round.

A highly atmospheric ambient guitar soundtrack with sharp edges and a sense of brooding melancholy, award nominated composer Andrew Phillips's score for the BBC's acclaimed adaptation of JG Ballard's short story 'The Enormous Space' (broadcast as 'Home') gets a welcome release via the Burning Shed download store.

Many view Nemeton's "Remix 2", the last track on The DAC Mixes, as amongst the highlights of the album. "Remix 2" was picked as being the best of the four remixes submitted by Nemeton, but it was a close call as the band considered all of them excellent.

Rather than have these tracks languishing, unheard, on the Darkroom hard drive, the band decided to put these out as a free download and a subtle advertisement for the original 'The DAC Mixes' album itself (which featured mixes and contributions from Bass Communion, Tim Bowness, Theo Travis, Peter Chilvers and Centrozoon, amongst others).

Differing from all previously released versions and dating from March 1994, this free download is the first known demo of Lighthouse, and provides a fascinating insight into the genesis of the popular Returning Jesus track (the song was eventually issued with a vastly expanded arrangement and an altered lyric in 2001).

Please note, due to the loss of the source tapes, the quality of this mp3 is not to the high standard of other No-Man download releases.
