Latest on Bo'Weavil, the label that brought you high-quality reissues of sides by Shirley Collins, Richard Bishop and James Blackshaw is Dale Berning's The Horse Stories, a soundtrack to a film by Hiraki Sawa, commissioned by the Hayward Gallery and Bloomberg London, for Waterloo Sunset, the Dan Graham Pavilion at the Hayward in November 2004. Dominated by slow, melancholic piano runs, the music has the feeling of a long-abandoned doll's house, with the muzz of chimes, water dripping from taps, the march of wind-up clocks and the sound of manipulated record players all conspiring to birth an atmosphere heavy with the feel of sad nostalgia. Hand-numbered edition of 500 in textured sleeves.
