Swedish eclectopop princess Stina Nordenstam released And She Closed Her Eyes in 1994, not that you’d know it but she did. It’s a neat little album and it contains this soothing groove here:

Ambient smooth sounds, yet at the same time working in a bit of sax, how did she do it? Mark Radcliffe I recall played this to death. Those were the days though, Mark and Lard on the late shift playing brilliant alt-pop, it was like John Peel’s show but with tunes.

It was great being able to listen to the radio and know that you were going to hear new stuff, non-mainstream stuff that you knew you weren’t going to have heard anywhere else.

Having said all this some of you may have already heard this as part of the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo And Juliet, which as I recall was one of Craig Armstrong’s works. He’s good too you know?

Anyway enjoy this for now but remember to buy And She Closed Her Eyes, it’s great!
