Nathan Haines' eleventh album Notes was many years in the making, its progress derailed by a cancer diagnosis, throat surgery and the death of key collaborator, Phil Asher.

Now the record's here, and against all odds there's a feeling of joy and release throughout.

We'll hear two key tracks from that today, followed by marvellous new music from Wellington's Salvia Palth and a collaboration between British dub producer Adrain Sherwood and local electronic duo Pitch Black.
