Influenced by a wide range of artists including Bass Communion, Boards of Canada, Tortoise, and composers such as Reich, Glass and Arvo Pärt, Nunbient is an ambient/electro-acoustic collaboration between Joff Winks and Matt Baber.

Utilising both real instruments (including vibes, guitars and harmonium) and processed synthetic and ambient textures, Just Another Dark Age is an exploration in which field recording and sound design are the primary catalyst for a unique experience that can be described as a visually evocative and cinematic journey that swings between moments of luminous sound and intense aural collages.

Darkroom's latest album, Some Of These Numbers Mean Something - their 8th to date -marks the 10th anniversary of debut release, Daylight.

The original brief for the new album was, 'place guitar under microscope'. In places, it's the hardest hitting Darkroom album to date, but without doubt it's also the most accessible, combining 70's space rock, 80's Sheffield electronica, 60's guitar instrumentals and contemporary post rock.

From Santana & Tangerine Dream to Cocteau Twins & Tortoise, file under ambient stadium rock.

An exquisite companion piece to Fragile (Music), Roger Eno's Anatomy expands upon the spare, piano only, experiments of his previous album, with a series of instinctive and reflective keyboard instrumentals deploying delicate textures and his typically distinctive use of space.

Flood was constructed by Roger Eno for the 2008 Salthouse Art Festival in North Norfolk.

Utilising birdsong, bells, sparse keyboard melodies, vocal textures, and bass notes in an intentionally random way, the album is an attempt to emulate a soundtrack, or atmospheric musical backdrop as opposed to creating a specific musical focal point.

To coincide with the release of Nosound's new album, 'Lightdark', the band's celebrated debut release 'Sol29' has been reissued in a remastered and recompiled final edition.

'The Red Song' and 'The World Is Outside' have been added (taken from the 'Sol 29' studio sessions, the songs have already appeared in different mixes on Nosound's live dvd).

'Failure Of The Grand Design' is The Resonance Association's debut album for Burning Shed.

Clocking in at just under 55 minutes, the album consists of nine dark and ambitious instrumentals (described by the band as being an 'ambient-techno-goth-prog crossover') , and includes a new version of live favourite 'Electrolyte'.

Echoes of Porcupine Tree, Coil, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Sunn O))) and Neu! grace the album's powerful mixture of electronic atmospherics, soaring guitar solos and fractured motorik rhythms.

'Blue Dawn' is the latest collection by acclaimed British composer, Andrew Keeling.

Andrew's second release on Burning Shed (following 'Reclaiming Eros'), 'Blue Dawn' represents the more meditative and spiritual side of Andrew's work and includes performances by Holland's 3-Orm, Scottish-based ensemble TripleSec, theorboist Matthew Wadsworth and pianist Steven Wray.

A piece from 1992, 'Distant Skies, Mountains and Shadows', is placed alongside more recent works: 'Mirare for theorbo', 'Petit Requiem pour Basil' for narrator, flute and piano and 'Blue Dawn' for solo piano.

Burning Shed's third label sampler is perhaps it's most eclectic and accomplished.

Featuring contributions from, amongst others, Hugh Hopper (with Robert Wyatt), William D Drake (North Sea Orchestra, Cardiacs), Tim Bowness (No-Man), Roger Eno, and Cipher (Theo Travis and Dave Sturt), the music seamlessly moves from electronic soundscapes through jazz-tinged experiments via evocative singer-songwriter melodicism and skewed English eccentricity.

This item is free with any Burning Shed label purchase.

Terry Stamp follows his acclaimed Burning Shed debut 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' (Uncut's 'Americana Album Of The Month' and Daily Mirror's 'Album Of The Week') with 'Howling for the Highway Home', which features twelve intense and poetic narrative-driven songs from the former leader of 1970s cult band Third World War (TWW).

Along with recent covers and name-checks from Marc Almond and Paul Weller and an article in February's edition of Classic Rock, 'Howling for the Highway Home' is yet another strong addition to the growing reputation of this underrated and influential singer-songwriter.

OSI's debut release on Burning Shed is a vinyl EP featuring three radical remixes of tracks taken from the band's recent Free album.
The Go remix is provided by Martin Gretschmann, AKA Console, the highly respected keyboardist and programmer from influential German electronica outfit, the Notwist. OSI's Kevin Moore is responsible for the new mixes of Kicking and Home Was Good.

Containing almost half an hour of material, re: free is a fascinating, alternative glimpse into the sonic possibilities of one of the most unique and challenging rock groups to emerge in the last half decade.

Cipher's third album Elemental Forces finds the core duo of Theo Travis and Dave Sturt working alongside versatile percussionist Steve Hubback.

Augmenting the band's trademark fusion of ingeniously looped compositional structures and highly melodic improvisations with a more pronounced Eastern meditative influence, Elemental Forces is an exquisite and accessible blend of accident and intention, intensity and beauty.

Echoing the powerful and ambitious 1970s solo piano suites by the likes of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea, Peter Chilvers' 'Piano' represents a return to the influences and improvisations that marked Peter's introduction to music.

The album's highlights include 'Ghost Town Suite', a linked sequence of seven atmospherically downbeat pieces recorded in a single half hour session.

Roger Eno's first album for over four years is the most uncompromising, personal and starkly beautiful of his career.

With echoes of the cool Minimalism of Erik Satie and Harold Budd, Fragile (Music) represents a supremely consistent and moving statement from one of British music's lost treasures.

Treated textures collide with ascending Minimalist pulses to create an unexpected and highly atmospheric collaboration between Burning Shed’s innovative guitarist-in-residence, Michael Bearpark, and German Swiss looping guitarist Bernhard Wagner. The album is packaged in a stunning Carl Glover sleeve.

Written between 2000 - 2004 and including performances by highly respected ensembles and musicians such as Gothic Voices, Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort, Stor Quartet, Jacob Heringman, Catherine King, Susanna Pell and Abigail James, 'Reclaiming Eros' represents the second recorded collection of chamber, solo instrumental and vocal works by composer Andrew Keeling (known for his acclaimed orchestral re-workings of Robert Fripp and King Crimson material).
