Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
To live at liberty is perhaps the aim of us all, to live without authority or control, to observe freely, have the right of self-determination, and above all to have our stories told without prejudice or the judgement of intolerance rearing its ugly head as the world listens to a thousand souls yearning to be heard.

To be as uncompromising as you can be in a world that dictates subservience is an act of rebellion against a state that perceives a War Without Witness as power’s greatest achievement; it is a non-negotiable undertaking that we must fight power by always bearing witness, we must observe and report, never once being marginalised by those with agendas that seek the continued stance of servility.

The fertile rich spirit which inside all who come into this world is rarely exercised to its full potential due to circumstance beyond their control, outside influences, like apples on a tree are subject to the varying changes in the weather, the soil, and the nutrition, are always eating away at the soul of the human and dictating just how they can reach out to the sun without allowing the worms of discontent to eat their way through the skin and through to its very core.

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. It is of course rubbish, a nonsense that is insult to the creativity of a human being when they are touched by the continued navigation of the Muse.

Enigmas are there to remind us how not everything in life can either make sense or be pushed back into the limelight if the originators don’t wish to reunite and tread upon the same road once more.
Where other Progressive behemoths have reunified, have continued with a change in personnel, made documentaries together and pulled back the velvet curtain as Dorothy’s loyal dog, Toto, did when presented with the smoke and mirrors of Oz, Gentle Giant remind us that you may have been amongst the biggest in the world, but you can also take a step away from the ones pulling the lever, creating the illumination, and leave the production of the perplexing mystery to another’s Free Hand.

2020 will always be with us, it will be impossible to look back upon our lives in the future and not think of it, to focus on an area of loss, on a moment of pain, but in this respect, we must also think on those who helped, who aided us during a collective era of uncertainty, and when we remember that we made it when we can say with love and honour, With A Little Help From My Friends we survived and found reasons to live, laugh and remain positive.

When the art of the Progressive is hidden from sight, when it takes on the clothes and appearance of something else entirely, that is when it has done its job well and with sincerity wrapped around every fibre of tissue ot commands.
The point of the Progressive is to stand alert in someone’s else’s shadow until they have become used to your presence and start to exhibit and extol the virtues and acts of life that the Progressive runs into the territory of the revolutionary; and every act in the end needs to be revolutionary.

The uniqueness of Liverpool as a city within the British Isles never goes unnoticed, the envy in the eyes of those not within passing distance of the mouth of the Mersey is always stark, they envy the creative freedom, they resent the cheerfulness and the ability to grieve, and when it comes to the art of song writing, there are few outside of Liverpool’s arena that can match the ability to catch the moment as well as those who see the Mersey as the free flowing of trade and information.

What speaks to our minds, also makes the soul dance and long constantly for the memory of that sound, to play it repeatedly, to change it, to alter it maybe, but in all just to honour it through your own personal way of love and respect.
The song or track which are covered by another artist can be seen in two ways, one as a marketing tool installed by the studio and intended to be a lead single for the masses to be divided over, or as act of selfless purity, of honouring what made us believe in the first place and turned us on to the gift of art in which we practise.

Everybody always imagines they can write a hit. In the same way that at a party someone will corner an author and inform them that they always wanted to write a book, invariably the same people will tell a musician, that they too could have been the next David Bowie, the next pop sensation or rock god. The truth is, yes, they could have done, but they are looking at it the wrong way round, the telescope of expectancy is pointed at the green grass rather than the industrial landscape behind.
