Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
One cool daddy, one auspicious casual cat, but one with the rich seam of emotion that embraces the heart and mind together in a way that so few people can manage, can even contemplate, and in that full embrace the listener, the aural lover, will always find the one with love for humanity reaching out long after many have believed the message has stopped being sent.

From a certain height you can see the whole of creation that stretches ahead of you, and what you left behind with clarity; no longer stuck between a rock and a hard place, A View From The Top Of The World is the vantage point where all can make sense, or at least seem that way as you balance belief and argument in one hand, and in the other you offer your soul to the winds and the music exploding out of ever sinew and muscle.

A species, a race, dedicated only to the extermination of all others in the universe is terrifying enough a prospect to deal with, add in the one crucial factor that makes it chilling, that recalls all the despotic, the evil, the cruelty and obnoxious malevolence that can only be found in the megalomania and psychopathic behaviour of a mind filled with absolute hatred, and you are either face to face with the foul and wicked presence of the worst of humanity, or you have been captured by the Daleks, and their foul, depraved creator, Davros.

The future is unwritten, the past has had its say, and yet the present, the moment we inhabit, is as blind to us as the hidden depths of the sea, or the infinite vagaries of what lays beyond our comprehension as more of the universe is revealed.
What we do understand is just how important the moment to us is, that whilst we have a form of time travel in being able to recall personal history with a kind of vivid form of entitlement, and look to the days ahead with wide-eyed optimism, the moment offers a myriad of confusing emotions to which we place the significance of certain events, of potential high points, as being the most important way to spend the day.

The confessional is not the preserve of the church, but rather the spirit to which we release our deepest feelings, agendas, insecurities, and motivations, and should we reveal these confessions in art, if we take the dance of acknowledgement of our beliefs enough to state them, to avowal them in a type of waking dreams as well as the idling slumber of ethereal driven life.

Let There Be Light, and the world will be illuminated.
Poetry, of any shape, creed, or foundation, may be more enticing when it shrouded by the darkness, when it calls upon the imagery of the less than full breath, the sense of the quick and the shallow course of nature to which the word is spacious, sacrosanct, and volatile. Add to this depth of illusionary purity the element of music, of the lyric sung as well as spoken, ethereal like conversation, and not only do you reveal light, you announce Sun Atoms as though it was the first day, and the sky, like the music, is on fore.

There was a time when the writer was revered, placed upon a pedestal, and given the respect they deserve, and this was especially true of those who went beyond the realms of imagination and pain staking approach to research to produce a tome of information that was designed, in the words of Lord Reith to educate, inform, and entertain.
In a world made arguably simpler, but less brain friendly, by the internet, facts have lost their charm, they have lost their place in a society obsessed by the speed of a download and the uncared-for physicality of both the art and the application of the labour that went into it.

The best of The Southbound Attic Band doesn’t even cover how enormously satisfying, how gracious, and how much fun it is to be in the presence of Barry Jones and Ronnie Clark as they perform on stage in various venues in their home town; if anything, the finest band that the vast majority of the U.K has yet to discover, is the sense of occasion they bring to your ears as they undoubtedly offer a view of the world of acceptance, tolerance, love and humour, where they are to are to be fully enjoyed.

The inevitable love child of The Truman Show and Tron, with more than a little help in being raised by the house of mouse; and yet despite having the backing, the insight and imagination, as well as the decades in the advancement in studio techniques to pull of such a daring story, Free Guy does not have the same appeal to all as its more illustrious parents had when they first hit the cinema screens.
