Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

When the general populace think of the Mediterranean they might ruminate on the blue skies, the mixture that hangs in the air of European influence and North African desire, of wars raged, of a dusky exoticness that draws people in from all over the world and a general ambience that is hard to ignore. Those qualities are even more abundant when it comes to the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino. Three islands in which the European influence has played out heavily across the time, from the French, the Italian states and the British, they weathered and braved terrible onslaught day after day during the Second World War and have a well-deserved reputation of being a distinctive and friendly people to the point that their music, no matter the genre, just seems so uplifting that it is cross every sphere of authorative stimulus imaginable. Chasing Pandora from Gozo are no exception.
