Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The birthplace of democracy, the works and thoughts of Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates, the legends and myths of Gods, of true warriors defending a narrow pass, of theatre set against the Mediterranean sky, and seas that carried idea across vast seas; they all require one thing, and it is just as vitally important now in the modern era as it was in times less troubled by those whose notions were presented with an even greater degree of ill-intent today.

If you don’t feel the hackles rising and the wrath coursing through each vein as the body responds to the old, desperate retort of “Get a proper job” as you plunder the soul for the opportunity to bring something unique, something spiritual, anything artistic into the world; then frankly there is no hope for you. You may as well reserve your place at the end of the line marked mediocrity and hope that the existential parade never finds you sulking as you march to the beat of other’s dogma and insecurity.

Regimes never fall, they just undergo a personality change.
In truth all revolutions ultimately fail because the void they leave is too immense for anything other than the status quo to fill it; it is why you arguably only ever have extremes of government in so called democratic countries, never a middle of the road leadership, a third party truly doing anything other than playing to the conscious of the crowd.

When a franchise can still find ways to progress more than fifty years after its initial outing at the cinema, you just know how important it is that the story line reflects and adheres to the original sense of the infinite possibility that first entranced and captured the cinema lover’s heart.

A timely reissue of an old favourite is guaranteed to be successful, but a re-release of arguably one of the best examples of a craft being undertaken at the height of an artist’s popularity is a reveal that belongs in the soul of the one willing to embrace a sound, a time, to which will never happen again.

The sensitivity of a voice is what we first notice when our soul is captured by a sound breaking down our resistance to the day, the trials and tribulations, the moments of anguish, the long hard stare of a fierce predator shaped in the distressing gowns of grief….that voice can bring it all down and surrender itself to peace because of the timbre and the beauty that resonates deep within us.

To call upon the supernatural and the spirits that guide us in our dedication to artistic endeavour may feel to some as nothing more than an invitation to devilry, the incantations of witches and occultists; where in truth the Invocation is cast by magicians, by entertainers and not illusionists.
To understand that magic is held by the creative soul and not one who practises deception is to feel the freedom of the soul, to watch it soar, to be at peace with the result of the Blues and the Rock that is brought forth into the world, and in that, in his own powerful truth, Troy Redfern brings forth the spell of tremendous musical wealth in his brand new studio recording, Invocation.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
For some the sound of an album immersed in the realm of the concept is a joyous occasion, it is the epic novel in a surround sound experience where a single journey isn’t enough, and a three-minute track does not do justice. To be in that realm, in any genre that can cope with the dynamic and the expected, is to marvel at the scope of the imagination and the ease in which the minefield of illusion is traversed with speed, agility, and promise.
