Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
There are some things that are well worth the wait, even if you didn’t realise just why you had waited for them until the first note came crashing down around your senses and you were transported through time and the love of literature to a point of sheer bliss.

There are always new worlds to explore, even those you have been briefly to before can still hold a world of wonder within its dark caverns and forbidding forests. For William Shatner, the man who first took Star Trek fans on an adventure that shows no signs of running out of steam, the music quest has been taken before but not perhaps to the best of receptions. Times have changed, William Shatner has grown older and wiser and his life has taken many different turns since those heady days of the 1960s at the head of the Enterprise. This certainly feels like the best time to Ponder The Mystery.
