4th July 08

# The 2008 Mercury Music Prize is a topic beginning to appear on the lips of music fans, and in keeping with our own traditional success at the prestigious ceremony, we have another three clients on the short-list of 12 candidates.

Laura Marling has earnt a nomination for her sublime folk debut, Alas I Cannot Swim, partly mixed in The Engine Room by producer Phill Brown in late 2007. Joining her are Cardiff electro-popsters Neon Neon, who have recently been courting the talents of Interface engineer Pete Hofmann, and Pete's long-term collaborator, producer Richard X. Completing the Miloco force are British Sea Power, whose phenomenal Do You Like Rock Music? - mixed in The Engine Room by Graham Sutton - sees them bidding for this year's gong.

A huge congratulations to everyone in the Miloco family web on the news of this year's nominations. Good luck on the big night!!
