Brothers Of Mine, Was This Love Or Just A Trick Of The Light? E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

You can expect the unexpected all you like, you can train your spotlight on any area, focus it into the depths of the echoing cavern, direct it into the sky and pinpoint where the stars are dancing to the Universe’s rules. Yet the unexpected shifts direction, it takes on a different hue and shape, and all of a sudden the exposed light finds that all it was aiming at was a black hole out of which comes nothing but intrigue and attraction.

Tiffany, Pieces Of Me. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Time can often be a cruel and harsh master, however when it is feeling benevolent, perhaps even verging in the circumspect glow of long-distance memories. It can lead to the sense of wonder, a sense of finery in art which had been neglected, not through the fault of the artist as they don’t control the honest fickle nature of the public, nor the bare-faced cheek of executives and moguls who only see an artist’s worth by what they can gain in hard currency, but through the aspect of understanding that despite Time playing hardball and even hard to get, an artist can still demand the listener’s own perspective as they urge them to take Pieces Of Me.

Eleanor Tomlinson, Tales From Home. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

It should never be a surprise that the artistic have more than one arrow nestling in their quiver, that they have the sense of delivery that will take them down the avenues in which perhaps would all wish to explore, that the sensitive side of their nature will allow them to take on any creative aspect and showcase their talent.

Wille & The Bandits, Paths. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *


When something special comes along, it isn’t always plainly obvious, after all not all in life is heralded by the sound of trumpets capable of bringing down walls, not all is signalled in the heavens as a momentous occasion, it is up to the witness to find the meaning and to spread the word of what has occurred, the heavenly sound or the creative set of Paths opened up before them. The witness is the barer of tidings sent, the first to perhaps hear what the prophets cry, and one that is precious to the touch when performed in front of you.

Geoghegan Jackson, Flatlands Rising. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

A new year should always bring with it the twin senses of optimism and hope, whether hand in hand and with angelic smiling faces, cool enough to disarm the concerns of all who approach it initially with caution or in hessian sacks to stop them fighting over who gets to pull the wool over the eyes of the population first; the latter seems to come round all too frequently, flattering to deceive and lulling you into the false sense of security before robbing you blind of faith and wonder. Then there is the former, the place where the view from Flatlands Rising is charming and honest, sincere and welcome; it is a position in which optimism and hope thrive and live carefree.

John F. Hall, There’s Always Tomorrow! (Poem).

 

There’s always Tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes!

for peace in this world, only bombs, and loaded guns

There’s free beer Tomorrow in the bar that never closes

for the Wino’s, Drunks, and street bums

There’s a distant light left on at the end of Hope Street

Seeing the World through Beer glasses softens the hard Edges!

Now I can see Blue skies visions all of the time

Everything’s going to be alright!

At the End of the Day it’s Night

Except in the Land of the Midnight Sun

Puppy, The Goat. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Life is not and should never be, completely serious. Even in the depths of the most intense feeling surrounding the soul or the art that engulfs us, there must be moments in which raising a smile, beaming and wide grin and letting the two fingers of angry pleasure and satisfaction be seen to rise above the cacophony of ceaseless prattle and bustle. The difference between these two states of mind are understood when you know that it is appropriate to act The Goat and to shoulder the responsibility in to which you showcase the passion in which your soul deserves.

Roger Daltrey, Thanks A Lot Mr Kibblewhite. Book Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Education is important, knowing your own mind and being driven to rebel against the system that only wants to tie you down to the mundane and dreary is imperative.

It can be argued that many of the finest creative minds that the world has produced has at some point defied the slog of the near industrial machine which is designed in part to generate more cogs, more constructed consumers and instead found ways to bring happiness into the lives of the general population. A song encouraging a heart to beat faster, a piece of art which brings sweat and fear to the brows of the so called elite of the world; anybody who can do this deserves to have a story told, the blueprint of their life brought to the attention of the autobiographical section of any bookshop.

The Yacht Club, The Last Words That You Said To Me Have Kept Me Here And Safe. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Youth is meant to be carefree, exciting times of discovery and hope, of adventure and love, it is the time you are supposed to relish before the burdens and responsibilities of adulthood take their toll and add grey hairs and wisdom to your mind. Youth is never wasted on the young, for they are the ones to whom the world really belongs as those over a certain age seek comfort in their homely rituals and planned out to the minute lives.
