Stuart's featured album is  Abonecronedrone by mesmerising vocalist and musician Sheila Chandra.

Stuart rounds up the usual unusual suspects including eerie English Folk, Italian prog, a brace of teen exploitation movie themes and some elemental rhythms played on resonant plywood creates. 

Also, his featured album is Abonecronedrone by mesmerising vocalist and musician Sheila Chandra.  Sheila first came to attention as an actress in Grange Hill before forming the pop group Monsoon, best known for their ground-breaking hit Ever So Lonely, which fused Western pop and North Indian classical music. After the band split, she released several solo albums, developing a vocal and drone approach that drew on vocal cultures from around the world. Sadly, she had to retire from music due to ill health, but her trio of albums for Real World have just been reissued.
