Astles, Full Of Wonder. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

To hear Daniel Astles is to see the point of naming an E.P. Full of Wonder, it does obviously allude to the songs contained harmoniously within the song listing, it does offer the sincerity of the music captured and the respect deserved. However, if you were to choose a title for the young man’s release then you would probably think of him anyway, you would align your thoughts on the whole package and come up with the same belief, that indeed it is Full of Wonder.

Astles, Live At The Nordic. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A certain special venue and a spine tingling, life affirming performance always seem so intrinsically linked, that one special vibe that was captured for all time and has become imbedded into the psyche of the artist. They undoubtedly will always do a finer performance, give the audience an assured thrill but that one brief moment under the watchful heavens, in the closed vicinity of four walls, in front of an appreciative and respectful audience; that is the point, the standing ground for any future engagement.

Astles, Gig Review. Leaf, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Live music is important, everybody, the world, his wife and their sometimes ignorant children knows that the live arena is the most important approach for music in the 21st Century. Almost killed by rampant commercialism, the despicability of some streaming services not paying what an artist is due in full for their songs and the process of creativity being turned into a product rather than a little piece of their soul being turned into something beautiful and worth a lot more than money can buy; the live arena is the last natural place in which musicians of any standing get to feel appreciated.
