Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
We scatter dust to the wind when time has reached its end, when that faithful friend has left us and we wish to ensure that they travel onwards, that their force, their soul, will keep being part of the world and all it can envision beneath its wings.

The brightest star can be seen for only a short time, that does not mean its value is diminished, it does not mean that it only exists in our memory for the least amount of time, it just reflects the volume of luminosity that it offered as its brief reign was felt by all who saw it, who was influenced by its appearance, or who have only found its existence through the mention of a greater power. That star will be forever astonishing.

With all respect intended, the 80s were arguably the moment when popular music hit its absolute zenith. The 60s were magical, the 70s illuminating, but the 80s seemed to bring music completely to a different audience that required a diversity of sound, the first sense of expanding genres, blurring them, marketing them with aggression, the battle to be the hero or heroine on the walls of the new teenagers, the Generation X wave and to make the most of the new modes of delivering sound to the senses…that was the moment when it truly reached its moments.

Perhaps we are conditioned by what we hear when we envisage certain place names. To hear for example the city name of New York will light up the mind in response to dynamic abundance, of bright lights and big personalities; Paris will conjure up romance and revolution, of enlightenment, and Liverpool of solidarity, of art, and the willingness to fight for belief, and each of these places are captured righty in every detail through art, through song and lyric.

When titans combine, expect earthquakes and seismic activity that turns heads, allows the heart to swell, the mind to expand and feel the appreciation of different generations digging the cause of the art and which can take place as the gods approve as they dance and bless the mood under a Joyful Sky.
To bring together Robin Trower and Sari Schorr is a match suggested in the heavens and created with a sense of unrelenting beauty here on Earth, and the result is an album in which elevates the emotions of the Blues to a place where this unknown feels as though it was always going to be; the kismet, the fate, is a bliss of powers based in trust, commenced in belief, and delivered with resonating thrust

Hell is a good starting place for the righteous to start a revolution, but as the infernal pace freezes over and the snowball’s chance and the possibility of being Buried In The Hail proves the downfall of the devils and gods, so the main believers are afforded the time to state their case and show Hell the heaven that awaits.

There are three generations of fans that never got to see Fleetwood Mac at their absolute undoubted pomp, at the moment where they had gold in their veins and the blood of destruction flowing through their hearts, and it is too that sense of mortifying time bound neglect that the feeling of never seeing the masters in their natural setting as the friction and love threatened to turn the band inside out, dawns upon the faithful.

The American dream is sold upon a lie we have told ourselves, its victims are those who hold the illusion up, the dead, the slaves, the ones who emotionally could not cope with the fantasy, the president who sought change but paid with their life, the native, the ones before the European invader who now rule the roost from coast to coast and from the gulf to the borders of cold forests and a less intense lifestyle, having their stories cut short and mostly lost except through perseverance and the beauty of aural reassurance and passion.

There is always something there to remind the listener of the depth and quality of the music that comes out of Liverpool’s vast music empire.
It seems since time first registered the individuality of the region, the city by the Mersey, music has been the driving force of its culture, of its people, and despite the significance of the area, as with much of the country, losing various venues due to the social policies enacted by one political colour or another, what will always thrive is the beast within, the need for the expression to be shown and keenly felt.

If there is a prize for the most self-evident use of a lyric in relation to naming a complete album collections, then Deacon Blue must have surely known they would be absolutely victorious when the discussion arose of how to catch the attention of the fan and persuade them to set aside their money from wages day as they unveiled the title of the ginormous box set; You Can Have It All – The Complete Albums Collection.
