Gillian Fleetwood: Together With Yourself At Sea Level. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Art is not the demolition of history, it is the pleasure of being in its company, of presenting different sides, a viewpoint which might other wise go unnoticed, or even unheard, it is the ability to see the perspective from neither above nor below, but at one with the piece, as if you were able to visualise existence Together With Yourself At Sea Level.

DYMYTRY: Five Angry Men. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The angry men, and women, are the main reason why our planet is on the edge of constant conflict, environmental disaster, and the tipping point of nuclear annihilation. It is no secret that the large egos and the owners of the heated hearts with nowhere to vent their bigotry, their illusions of grander, the self-possessed leaders who see with hate, are the ones to whom we shall blame when the fuel burns and becomes a fire tornado consuming all.

Brown Horse: Reservoir. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The enigmatic and the melancholic flirt well with each other, but often the result is a marriage of convenience, both sides overwhelmed by the insecurities of the other, the commitment shown to the attitude often becomes overwhelming, dramatic, full of tension; and when the inevitable release comes, the feeling of being immersed in water way above your head can be panic inducing.

Not so with the collaborative event that comes through in the debut release by Brown Horse, the titillating and honestly pursued, Reservoir.

Bernard Allison: Luther’s Blues. Album Listen.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

We can be forgiven for believing that we stand in the shadows cast by our parents, especially when they have raised such a standard in their lifetime that the sun could be said to never set on their achievements.

His Lordship. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Blow those cobwebs away by force, stand for no nonsense or mealy mouthed words paid in mock tribute to those who believe themselves to be a cut above you despite being closer to the gutter as defined by their actions; but pay attention to those you might describe in a more affectionate tone, His Lordship, for they have a larger obligation to delve into your mind and pull from the wreckage of false deference a finer sense of appreciation.

Feral Family: Without Motion. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are theories, wild speculations, and plausible philosophies that suggest that civilisation has started to eat itself, that we are living in a period of time damned by its own intelligence and appeasement to the cracks in the social construct; that our reality is a blind alley to which we have become accustomed and that is grinding on the rails towards its own inevitable destruction.

Ciaran Ryan Band: Occupational Hazards. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Those Occupational Hazards that we must traverse daily, if dealt with in a timely and reassuring manner, can give us a rhythm to our step and a pleasing note in our soul; for should we take heed and learn from the sound they perform for us, we can overcome the warnings, the accidents, and the damage that life has in store for us and begin to appreciate the security in the style and the satisfaction of artistic exposure.

Euan Blackman: Rent Free On My Brain. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Living rent free is an aspiration, or a curse that resides in the mind when others leave an imprint that causes you doubt your own sense of self, or the heart that you know is spotless.

It will always be preferable to live rent free from those who seek to speak of negative demons invisibly down your ears as you stare into the mirror of your self-conscious, and that Troxler, the trickster not only requires defeating, but eradicating from each connective misfire corrected. For upon the shoulders of giants we are not only able to see further, but we are closer to the blue skies of rational thought, and the rent-free belief, thanks to artists such as Euan Blackman becomes utterly convincing, and apparent.

Hirondelle. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The migration patterns of birds have long held a fascination for ornithologists and for those who find the half yearly voyage of avian resettlement to be worthy of being an inspiration for any form of poetic or artistic visualisation. It is the call to nature, the reason beyond human made perceptions of Time, it is how the world is acknowledging the change in the weather, the seasons, the way the Earth moves through space; and whilst some may find it a small detail, it is however a finer degree of understanding and one that offers creation a way of expressing itself with a definition of purpose.
