Regent: Just A Revolution. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It’s never just a revolution, it is the awakening of new habits, of putting aside former temptations and services to rulers and leaders who don’t have your best interests at heart; if we take up the arms provided us, reason, wisdom, and common sense, it is possible to see these weapons used proactively and with mass effect…if we can agree on a common discourse to put to those who speak only in misery and tyranny.

Geoff Carne & The Raw Rox Band: Rock The Blues. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Punchy, dynamic, never understated, always an ear open for the sound, but with a heart as large as any, and as the music from Geoff Carne continues onwards, so the unveiling of the soul is unabashed and sincere.

For some, seeing a partner nod at the prospect of retirement would be a moment of reflection of their own place in the world they inhabit, the chance to contemplate what comes next and the opportunity to take stock before either making a life changing decision, or by treading the same path as before because it is right, because it is what is expected.

Chris Fox: In Plain Sight. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We keep those emotions that might disarm or cause concern in others In Plain Sight, they and we know they are there, but as long as we don’t talk about them then they at least are happy, they remain content in their blissful ignorance and you get to stew in the pleasure of appearing on top of it all, that the world doesn’t give you reason to think that it is insane, that the people who seek to cause harm have all found their way to Limbo.

Bill Bruford: Making A Song And Dance: A Complete-Career Collection. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Everybody will have their own opinion of what constitutes the best of, and at times the ensuing release is one created to be chart friendly, the ‘best’ made up of radio memories, of inducing the fan to part with money on the promise of a couple of rarities being included in the release, and the band, the artist, not having a single moment of input as studios and labels reap the reward of nostalgia.

Time travel never leaves the user unscarred, even in the least convincing of films and television series, it is a given that consequences are unavoidable even for the hardiest of souls, that Time is often a bitter and twisted entity that thrives on chaos, confusion, and humanity’s folly in believing that even the smallest interaction will leave them unscathed.
