Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The curious mind left unchallenged and unstimulated is soon left to rust, an act of ignominy, one that is akin to neglect and dishonour. However, an inquisitive mind that is nurtured, encouraged and given the chance to explore will forever be found rummaging through the day to day with hope, Wired For Madness, hooked to the freedom that such gifts entail.

There are times when only the truth that Progressive Rock holds in its soul is enough to fill the void left by all that flutters past and refuses to enlighten your being, shaking their heads as if avoiding the disappointment they offer and the realisation that they hold little or no substance. In the art of the Progressive, the ability to tell a continuing story is one that is lauded, hoped for, it may be Stranger Than Fiction but it is a tale that encompasses the very best of imagination, dedication and concentration, as well as being an art form in itself.

Beware the hound that bites, for they are the ones that have intuition, they are the ones who growl long before everybody else cottons on that the subject is not trustworthy, they can spot a bogus heart as quickly as they can sniff out Fake News & Propaganda, this dog bites, snaps with reason and isn’t afraid of using the conveyer of misinformation as its personal method of hygiene.

Carefree times during an era of repression and conflict are to be savoured. It would of course better for all concerned if moments in history had not been under the jackboot of tyranny and the rule of fear, however out of such times comes a rebellion, the people fight back the only way they can, with a mood of enjoyment, of bliss and the ability to dance under the spotlight and raise a smile which infuriates those with no humour or soul in their body.

Within the search, hope must lay that we discover something of ourselves, that we open the doors of our souls and capture forever the feeling of having become one of nature’s Bold Champions, one of the people who follow through on their plans to add a moment to the world and be entwined with its joy. The search may be fruitless in terms of profit, but in lifting the spirits of others it must be considered a benefit, and to the courageous, those who support and back their words with actions, that is point of the search.

So few of us follow through on our broader dreams, content, satisfied with forever imagining what life would be like if only we had the time, or the will, to create the conditions in which we could be happy, or at least proud of being the person we want to be. It is not necessarily our fault, the cosmos conspires, fate lends a hand, and there is always a million chores to be done, perhaps by looking for our dream, holding the vision as if it were made of gossamer or the thin veils of intricate spider’s webs, we are reassured that we have at least given our life meaning.

Almost everybody wants to know Where The Action Is, the engagement between a group of people in which the dance of ideas are pitched and the sway of the carefully selected phrase is allowed to tightly wind itself around the listener’s heart and soul. The action is a call to arms, the latest rally in the never-ending fight against futility and the mundanity of life which dictates that stagnation is special, almost lauded, proposed by people who have no understanding of the right to stride onwards, to take heed of the Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and act accordingly.

The journey is not meant to be smooth sailing, occasionally the wind will drop and you will find yourself becalmed, motionless, moored in a sea that wants to rage but find finds no tempest calling. In those times the voyager might find that the journey is of no consequence, the diary running dry, the memories made fading into the far recesses of the mind, only to be caressed back to life with careful thought.

How often do we truly sit down and seek enlightenment from the anecdotes and mysteries entwined within the set of A Traveller’s Tales, how often do we sit in silence and let the narrator’s words flow over us and sit in silence, reflecting not on the appearance or the situation, but solely on the legend being created? In this fast-paced modern world in which we cannot even let a day turn without a sarcastic remark or subtle dig in the ribs go past on social media, we don’t let the story sink in, a traveller’s tale deserves more respect.

We listen to the multitude who sing off the same chorus sheet, we applaud and make a fuss over the group dynamic which ranges in degrees of finesse and performance because we feel that there is safety in numbers, that there is a sense of cause in the army containing baritones and sopranos, an expression of grief and joy that is harnessed by the collective over the passion of the one.
