The hugely anticipated debut album from Marillion's Steve Hogarth and PT's Richard Barbieri features appearances from Danny Thompson, Chris Maitland and Dave Gregory, amongst others.

"It goes beyond what you might expect from the two of us. The album consists of music which is at times moving, complex, multilayered, spooky, goofy and, of course, very personal." - Steve Hogarth

Preorder now for 27th February 2012 release date

Dating from 1994, Jakko M.Jakszyk's Kingdom Of Dust represented an accessible and melodic fusion of Pop sensibilities and Art Rock ambition that found Jakko working alongside the ever-inventive trio of Jansen, Barbieri and Karn (ex-Japan/Rain Tree Crow).

For this special download edition of the mini-album an extra track, Fly, has been added.

All proceeds will be donated to the Mick Karn Appeal.

'Literate adult pop with more than a sprinkle of luscious art-rock atmosphere.' Misfit City

'For my pal Mick.' - Jakko

Following the artistic and critical success of his 2005 debut album Things Buried, Stranger Inside further develops Barbieri's unique approach to texture, harmony and rhythm.

Writing and producing the album himself, the album includes contributions from long-term creative partners Steve Jansen (mixing/co-arranging), Steven Wilson (mastering), Gavin Harrison (drums) and the legendary double bass player, Danny Thompson (currently enjoying renewed acclaim as part of the reformed Pentangle).

Although instrumental in nature, most tracks feature radical and atmospheric manipulations of the sampled voices of Tim Bowness and Suzanne Barbieri.

"Things Buried" is an instrumental work that highlights Barbieri's unique approach to sound and mood, ranging from textural atmospherics to dynamic rhythmic passages.

The album also features the distinctive styles of Percy Jones (Brian Eno, Brand X ) on fretless bass & Andy Gangadeen (The Bays, Massive Attack ) on Drums.

Please note - the Kscope edition of this album comes in a super jewel case (catalogue number KSCOPE132M) - we also have a limited number of the Snapper Music version at a slightly lower price. The content/packaging are the same but the super jewel cases are slightly marked. Please choose carefully.

Also available as mp3 / flac download.

With 'Other Worlds In A Small Room', Steve Jansen and Richard Barbieri created an atmospheric collection of instrumentals that they considered, 'Ambient in the traditional sense'.
