Eddie 9 Volt: Saratoga. Album Review.

image placeholder

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The cooler the story, the harder it is to top it, so rapt could the audience be in the tale that was spoken with elegance and rising temperature that they, as people are found wanting to do, cling to the moment of ecstasy they found with a vice like grip; never believing that that the moment can get higher, that the battery of illumination can allow the light to shine even brighter.


TV Pins: Aircutter. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

To cut through the air with a sound that captures the imagination of the listener on first go takes some serious effort, it is a sign of intensive and positive care for the music created and placing not just a stamp down on the offering, but causing an impact that leaves a sizeable hole that is near impossible to fill by others who seek the same domination of spirit.

Wendy James: Gig Review. Rough Trade Records, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The show must always go on, the dedication to the cause despite all that life may casually throw at you must continue unabashed and with sincerity be held up for all to witness; for you never know who you may inspire with just a simple acknowledgement of your time in the spotlight despite all that has happened, and how your life is one of creative cool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

In the hunt the man is transformed into a lowly deer and pursued to the death by the followers and protectors of the woman he has spied in her nakedness, the punishment due for being forward, for being unworthy and sullied in his action; a moral, a reaction that bares allegory from today’s modern world, or one fought with conscious from a mind over 2,000 years old and one to whom the idea of Metamorphosis was forming as he put together the ideals of Roman poetry.

Laura Marling: Patterns In Repeat. Album Review.

LAURA MARLING PATTERNS IN REPEAT NEW CD - Picture 1 of 1

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The phenomenon of Patternicity is one that is a fascinating psychological challenge to understand, to wrestle with whilst knowing all the time that it cannot be disputed as it is so engrained into the human existence, whether we actively seek patterns to explain the world and the universe or are overwhelmed by the continual observance and use it to dictate our life to the point that every event, every incident is an indicator to how the day will unfold, we must be mindful of how it will impact others, how perhaps the inclination will determine their lives as well.

Bonfire Radicals: Flywheel. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A blend, in terms of a spiritual imbibition can leave a taste in the mouth that feels odd to the palate of the clinical taster, to those that prefer an aged single malt, they find the moment to be one of a lesser deliberation and argue that the flavour has been left to take on a personality that is not of their choosing.

Steve Hill: Hanging On A String. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

It may seem flippant to suggest, for some it will be a preposterous notion, but it arguably a truth that only art can save the world, or at least civilisation as far as humanity is concerned, and whilst we are at a precipice of Time, hanging not just by a thread, but by our fingernails on collective sanity and our anger, we have the opportunity to enthuse others to a place where art in all its forms connects in ways that other areas of life are afraid to tap into.

Sunjay: I’m Just Like You. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

We spend so long, so many hundreds of hours daydreaming, hoping, fantasizing, that we could be someone else, or at least be someone that someone would want to be like, that we forget for the vast majority of times those same people cast their stare in our direction and hold their tongue, not sure on how to inform us, to openly declare, I’m Just Like You.

Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh: Flowers. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Whilst we are all unique, we must at some point agree to join forces in a way that brings out the very best in our ability, in our vision, and to bring something new to the public’s attention, a sign that union is not only welcome but required to attain a new balance in the world.
