Review: This new, special recording of Mark Knopfler's anthemic 'Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)' has been recorded to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America. The iconic soundtrack cut was included as the central theme tune to the Film4/Bill Forsyth classic film, starring a young Peter Riegert, Peter Capaldi and Jenny Seagrove as would-be oil speculators stationed in a Scottish town, whose unfortunate proximity to such crude liquid capital spells doom, if not for the lead character's tearjerking change of heart. Knopfler's theme has gone down in history as a rare slice of new age/instrumental jazz-rock film music and few Local Hero watchers, in fact, fail to notice its special charm.

Review: Anoushka Shankar's Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn is a riveting sonic journey that seamlessly blends eastern and western musical sensibilities. From the rocking piano motifs of 'Pacifica' to the dreamy textures of 'Offering' and the mystical ambiance of 'Below the Surface,' each track unveils layers of evocative dreamscapes. Shankar's sitar weaves enchanting melodies, complemented by the soothing sounds of waves and voices. The album's fusion of instruments and tonalities creates a healing experience, inviting listeners to relax and float downstream. With its profound depth and beauty, Chapter II transcends mere background music, resonating as a genuine artistic expression. Anoushka Shankar offers a compelling soundtrack for introspection and tranquility.
