When two people with similarly passionate, but sonically different, approaches to music collaborate, interesting things happen. Don&#8217;t take my word for it; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nickevans.co.uk\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\">go buy <em>Abandon Ship, Prepare Your Things<\/em><\/a> and listen to these versions side-by-side.
