Chris Wragg And Greg Copeland: The Last Sundown. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Do we ever really contemplate what it would mean to witness our final experience of dusk, that The Last Sundown we see with our own eyes is not one of mystery, of appreciating the majesty of the Universe, of even hoping to observe one final emergence of what was once considered a god peek over the horizon, but one that is shrouded by a shrug of indifference as we assume that all we have will be repeated the next day, and the one after that for time immemorial.

Colin Macduff: Seperations. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is only one thing in our life that is remembered more than an enduring love, and that is the break up that came before it, the moment when your heart and soul is crushed under the weight of the delusion that you have suffered that one person could have been the one, and little regard they felt for your state of mind as they leave you in pieces; the Separations of spirit are not just the acceptance of the bleak, but the catalyst to be better as you reflect on all that took place.

From death under water, to death from the skies, the second series of the initial smash hit Vigil once more hits the ground running as it pushes Detectives Amy Silva and Kirsten Longacre to the limit of their emotions and deductive powers as a routine demonstration of military hardwire suddenly turns into an horrendous murder scene and slaughter.

Jim Pearson: Death To Mortality. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Occasionally as a music listener you are transported to a place that is more than technically proficient, offers a finer sense of belief, and gives you a reason to smile in the darkness, one that insists there is a greater bounty to be found when we understand that being a casualty is a transience state of being, that we must be prepared to be vocal in our opposition to leaving the room silently, that in our defiant gestures we be certain to scream out Death To Mortality with all the fire of life we have ever displayed and forced out with that which is human.

The Time War rages on, and The Doctor, free of being pressed into Galactic Service as a recruit, still finds his freedom to help where he can, the reluctant warrior in a senseless never-ending war, curtailed by the machinations of the evil on both sides; be it the Daleks or the Timelords, the war between them is bringing destruction to a wider scope of existence…and at the very basis of life they both show how little they care for the innocent casualty, for the races that scream in horror as they are erased or slaughtered in the name of victory.

Cast: Jonathan Carley, Ajjaz Awad, Paul McGann, Adèle Anderson, Nicholas Briggs, Tiegan Byrne, Beth Chamers, Louise Faulkner, Davi Monteith, Becky Wright.

Every beginning must lead to an end; a story after all, unlike a legend, must have the courage to understand that what lays ahead after the initial introductions must be resolute to revealing the finish, the culmination in what the hero or the villain has been leading to before they take the next step on in the universes’ great adventure.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Jana Carpenter, Barnaby Kay, Nicola Walker, Kate Isitt, Ben Crowe, Laura Gibson, Michael Maloney, Abigail Thaw, Rufus Wright, Catherine Kanter, Ferdinand Kingsley.

The period dominated by pandemic was without doubt a trial fuelled by exhaustion and fear, of the great unknown in terms of human life. In one corner conspiracy reigned, and in the other ignorance and apathy were kings of the internet, driven by horrific stories on both sides that would sit and dwell in the minds of the populace as if some terrifically upsetting and devious horror was about to unleash itself upon the cinema screen and all who watched would eventually succumb to nightmares.
