Embrace it all, every crackle, pop, and effect, behold the fierce nature of the live recording when it hasn’t been polished to a studio standard, for being able to hear something from a period before your time is a gift of opportunity that requires acceptance, investigation, enjoyment.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Cast: Helen Carter, Paul Duckworth, Lynn Francis, Julie Glover, Michael Starke.
We deal with grief in our own way, but we must allow humour to part of the therapy in taking us from a place of heartbreak to one where we can look back at the times before the moment and take solace in the joy what came before, the small things that make a smile and a laugh the most beautiful response in the world.

Birmingham’s musical history is arguably only surpassed by the city on the Mersey, and for that its past must be respected, and that which comes from its future given a full hearing of possible appreciation.
In a part of the country that gave the world bands such as Magnum, Duran Duran, The Twang, Black Sabbath, ELO, and Esoteric, the ability to be different, to be directly involved with the pulse of the city and spread the message out beyond the river Rae and its vast network of canals, to strike a chord of your own is an act of powerful consideration; and in Solar Eyes and their self-titled debut album, the fluid and considerable vastness of the musical sense of self explodes with virtue and belief all over the aural networks and cognitive reasoning.

The point of momentum is that it must be given a reason to continue, and lest inertia or entropy emerge and eat away at the beauty of the energy provided, like rust on a steel heart, it must not only Get Goin’, but it must also be prepared to avoid the effects of Time that suggests that the end is a welcome release.

The build-up in tension that comes from a promise of a modern-day disaster requires to always be delivered. Failure to underline and provide the ending to which many have expected, replacing it with a noting more than a wishy-washy explanation is detrimental to the time and care placed before the viewer, and leaves a taste in the mouth that is overall, unforgiveable.

The clouds and storms of late have been moody, mean, and arguably fierce beyond compare, they have blocked our collective sight from seeing the land of safety and creativity from the air; and all we have been able to witness is the constant tsunami as it circles the world with terrifying speed.
Flying On Instruments alone does not always mean we have navigated from above with a greater precision than those who steer ships through the storm, but it can often be the truth that those that do might get to see and feel the warmth of the sun earlier and the land of opportunity and redemption with greater clarity.

We Just Call It Love, and for some it may be a momentary lapse of reason in their day-to-day existence, a blip that starts to consume their being, that takes their brain and soul on a journey together which often defies reason; right until it makes sense, and then the harmony observed is crucial to the heart’s own intentions of feeling alive.
Art in any form is love, and no matter how you may find your own way to have your heartbeat faster, there is a part reserved for the classic of another’s tune to ignite a fire in your body that you may learn you should never have ignored.

It is uncommon to find yourself that struck by beauty that for a while it is impossible to convey exactly what you have witnessed. The temptation to flourish on the immediate arguably detrimental to the truth of your feelings, and it must be avoided at all costs lest your own quality fade.

Everyday, whether we are conscious of it or not, we adhere to Rituals, to established practices or long-term traditions that have built up over time; to leave home by a certain time to avoid traffic, to listen to that last favoured song on the radio till its finale so that you ensure a good day, or even wearing a certain item of clothing, a colour that guarantees your endeavour is a success; we all do something that we have come to depend upon that gives our life a structure, a determination, a resolve that comes from deep within us and which materialises in the world around us.

If you want blood, if you want uncontained rage, and if on top of that you want to see aggression of sound succeed, then in the period of autumn’s splendour shall you discover it; all you have to remember that the emotions uncovered are spectacular, that the beat of the Italian embrace of dark doom and ear-splitting destruction is what’s left when What’s Done Is Done and given the freedom to stomp all over the remains of the naysayers and the terminally dull.
