In the world of the re-issue, the one that makes you yearn for another time is king. When that king is benevolent and giving it makes all the praise heaped upon its shoulders the first time round not only fitting but arguably a considered and finely tuned honour and in the electro-dub pioneers Dreadzone appropriately named Sound that honour has been restored and given new purpose.

There are those who shy away from chaos, the never ending pandemonium that resides in the mind and in the cosmos and denies it breathing room. Yet from out of natural anarchy comes order; it might not be the one suits the straight jacketed and stiff rigid back but the turmoil it beings is beautiful and intelligent. Chaos as a tool can be tranquil and in O.R.k’s collaborative album Inflamed Rides, chaos is but a gateway to the intense riches that lay beyond first dreamed imagination.

When a single gets released in time for the summer, the hopes of it being an anthem, to take on a life of its own and being heard sang under the breaths of women, men and children alike, as if the sunshine and decent weather makes people more susceptible to the sound of the light and breezy and the harmonies laid down, and the song becomes the over-riding memory aid when discussing where you were and what you did. The light and the breezy, everybody’s favourite Beach Boy track can sit in that particular slot.

Success is a two edged, arguably sharp, most certainly dull in its extremes and capable of truly destroying what you once were. It may bring you everything you ever dreamed of, it might nourish your life for a while but in the event of something going terribly wrong. The soul resigns itself to knowing that it can never recapture the serenity and peace that it had once before. Like Charles Foster Kane, the glory is never worth the dismissal of what it meant to leave your honour behind.

There are legends and then there is Canned Heat, the timeless Rock/Blues of one of nature’s most elegantly driven bands. A group that has Woodstock in their veins, that gives the Boogie the respectability and honour it deserves and to which if never have seen live only edges the musical psyche towards self denial like oblivion.

It seems the Lone Star State has a way of burrowing into your soul regardless of whether you want it to or not, the wide open spaces, the long history of individual reasoning, of being the engine of America’s oil driven economy and of a war that never seemed likely to end. No matter what the thought of Texas is, it hides the creative side well, until it comes out of nowhere and gives the listener a truly groovy experience.

The pulse of a thousand suns beating in harmony throughout the Universe is a sound denied to Humanity and the deaf ear we place to the reason of existence we ignore for the vast majority of the time. It is a sound that if captured would serve us well to understand that we are not alone but that we are also quite insignificant when it comes to knowing our place in the great cosmic storm.

The once seasoned traveller had no choice but to listen to the sounds that were coming from all around them in which to remember certain events and their feelings and reactions to them if they wanted to put them into the context of a piece of art in which to highlight the gift that nature and humanity provides in serious abundance.
For good or bad its possible now to add your own soundtrack to life, whether on the go about town or making the most of the once in a life time opportunity to see the world for its own dynamic wonder, the ears are attuned to something else rather than the sound from the exterior and artistically it somehow makes life less interesting.

Memory is something that is tangible and substantial. It may live in the heart of Folk tales, passed down through the blood and tears of those who have no recollection of what certain metaphors or allegoric symbols are for but they remain, intact and waiting patiently for the right moment in which to surface and bring an image or a thought back to life.

If the past was able to be burst so eloquently by Moss & Jones in their single Ella Brown, then the barriers that were breached may as well have Henry V standing with defiance and the look of the battle won etched upon his noble brow as he casts his eyes upon the fields and battlements of France as he orders the breach to be overrun; to let the past and present be merged with overwhelming ability and beauty by Moss & Jones in their new album Amateur Astronomy.
