Summer's just around the corner, so you might be expecting us to pack this month's edition of Now Playing with nothing but sun-soaked pop bangers and throwaway feel-good tunes. Or maybe you like to think that we have abandoned our test rooms altogether and run off to catch some rays, downing tools as we enjoy some volleyball on the beach, saving the testing of that new pair of floorstanders for a rainy autumn day.
Well, you're wrong on both counts. The testing grind never stops, and nor does our quest to find the best tracks for doing so. This month's list is as broad and varied as ever, with a little bit of Slipknot here and a touch of Portishead there, peppered with hints of '90s nostalgia and a big slice of lunar loveliness courtesy of Clint Mansell's Moon soundtrack.
