Roger Chapman, Life In The Pond. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There was once a school of thought, typified by the reaction of the old-fashioned critic, that those who are prolific in their writing are not as dedicated to their craft as those who can take years to produce a single piece of art.

Roger Chapman, Peaceology. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is always a school of thought that suggests to take what is essentially a classic album, something that has been painstakingly upheld as a pinnacle of a musician’s life work and re-master it is somehow akin to robbing the memory of what went before, for both the artist and for the audience. It sits there like a re-make of a much loved film or a different interpretation of a favourite play in some people’s eyes and thoughts as having somehow desecrated the past.
