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.

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.

KilliT, Waiting For The Day. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The day will always arrive, the anticipation of it is what drives you to the point of agitated madness, you count down the hours, think about the glorious moment of release, but it will soon dawn upon you that the eagerness of the day’s approach is what gives the moment meaning, that Waiting For The Day is a ritual of its own making and raises the image of what is to come to a truly special place.

Flotsam And Jetsam, The End Of Chaos. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

History arguably has a short memory, it is up to those that find the driftwood discarded by Time and the past floating on the ever-hopeful shores and beaches of accolade and account, in which to preserve it, give it a home in which commemoration can rightly be heard, adhered to. The deluge of History’s loss of memorial unless it suits its purposes is staggering, and one in which we, as keepers of such celebration, should give it sanctuary and bring forth The End of Chaos.

The Three Tremors. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Courtship is the unlikely warning of what can be expected when a person’s fancy turns to love, we are unprepared for the vibration in our hearts as the pace quickens and the mouth goes dry at the barest hint of conversation. In the right hands we go all of a quiver and if the intentions are true we can expect the earth to become unstable beneath our feet; in these, The Three Tremors of love and nature are not just a passionate declaration, they are an upheaval of the old way and into the new.

Walter Trout, Survivor Blues. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

A hero will take all the punches that life throws at them and still smile, they will see the fight and revel in the prospect of rebelling against the melancholy of being thought of as just another enduring spectacle to which Time soon allows to fade, no matter how hard they pressed on with their love and passions.

Gandalf’s Owl, Who’s The Dreamer? Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10


The pragmatist will assert their supposed authority of the romantic idealist by deriding the thoughts they have as being unrealistic, out of step with the modern cruelty in which the world exists; this derision, this potential conflict in which the seer of what could be is extracted out of into an unsightly cold embrace, is nothing more than logic out of control. It is the unbalancing in which the visionary realises that not everybody speaks the same language and that not all ideas are welcome, that the prophetic stance in which the world requires the creative, is almost a sneer waiting in answer, to which Who’s The Dreamer? becomes a dangerously exciting response.

Mike Sponza, Made In The Sixties. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The 60s is when it all came alive, when the teenagers saw that Bill Haley had faded out and that the first great hero of Rock and Roll was never coming back, it was the era of old men born in the 19th Century finally not running the White House, of hope in the passion of Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy, of the race to go beyond the perceived limits of the Earth, of a new love culminating in the Woodstock festival and in which for ever afterwards, through the wasted opportunities, through political scandal and assassinations, and the rise of Generation X and the coming of cynical dogma, that if you can remember it, then you weren’t paying attention to the message.

Gifford Lind, Alex Black And Guy Burgess, Weave Trust With Truth. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Weave Trust With Truth, for in between each stitch, each thread, there lays the endeavour of perfection in which communities thrived and looked after each other, a sense of belonging in which modern industry has replaced the thousands of people required to produce quality goods will never understand, all gone in the name of supposed automation, all disappeared in the drive for greater profit potential. From the fishermen to the drapers, the dockers to the railwaymen, all were part of something greater than the single man or woman, all were involved in a larger tapestry, all we were interlaced with each other, all now on the decline.

Parcels. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It is a quandary of our own making, the rush and pursuit of all we can gorge, all we can seize in the belief it can bolster our self-esteem or yield to the seriously complex mantra and conviction of those that imply or force with genuine conviction that all we need to do is lighten up, to rid the acquisition of knowledge at all costs and all the supposed meaningful benefits that go hand in hand with such quests.
