Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is craftsmanship and there is skill in the artistry, the look of appreciation from the passer by as they suddenly stop and take in the wonder that has unfolded before them. For Nine Times Blue, their new record Matter of Time is the type of E.P., although at six songs it really is not far off album length and equals it in its great depth, that grabs the attention of those passers-by. It turns them into life-long fans, the splendour of power pop wrapped cunningly in the arms of the melodious rock tune and across seven songs the beat gets more interesting, more attractive until suddenly you see the Vincent Van Gogh before your eyes.
