Laszlo – Radial Nerve
Radial Nerve is the debut album from London based producer Laszlo. Fusing IDM, and experimental electronica with jazz, folk and funk music, the result is a delightful, dreamy, sophisticated debut from the musician. The album was given the title Radial Nerve after he broke his radial nerve before making the LP and once recovered was told he would not be able to compose music again. Powerful.

And today’s final track on The New Thing was ‘One To Love’ by Rain Dog from the See Hear EP. A lovely ambient electronica track, you can download it for free from the CUT label here https://cutmusic.org/releases/cut006.php
