Neil Campbell: Alive In Prohibition. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

The difference between dealing with prohibition and living under the sentence of exclusion may be a technicality, but at least during prohibition if you knew where to have a good time, you could guarantee to find the time of your life, an approval granted by many to see the joy denied those who refuse to hear, rebuffed by those who quarrel with beauty.

Kim Edgar: Consequences. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

We have forgotten a prime instruction in life, to tread softly upon this Earth. Not only the ground beneath our feet, but the hearts of potential loves we have come to insist on hitting the soul of another to leave a bruise, when all we truly need is to leave a good impression; and our environment we have come like chaos to damn it, to make it quake in the shadows as we peel away every layer of reason that gives us hope, that allows us the belief to be more than savage.

When Rivers Meet: Christmas Is Here/It’s The Time Of Year. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The reflection of Christmas present is all well and good, indeed much needed in our particular viewpoint of the age, but it also requires the muscle, to be more than decoration, it insists on power, the toned carving knife of time to truly take the much-anticipated roast apart and give the punch and he sauce which the festivity truly deserves.

Dick Eliot: Oh Holy Night. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Even for the heart that shuns the time of year, the soul that adamantly decries the season as anything other than a modern trap of debt and indentured servitude, there comes a moment that breaks the barriers down for a while and gives relief to the person who is willing to see past the crass commercialism and allow the human voice to fill their ears.

Psychotherapy, a treatment of the analysis of the mind…we understand so little of what drives human behaviour, what guides the brain and how it sparks certain actions by the person, that it is reasonable to look upon the practise with some suspicion, an excuse provided by opinion to keep a criminal, a murderer, an abuser, away from facing the full fury of justice.

House Of The Dragon. Television Series Review.

Power is not only in hands of those wield it in the moment, but to those who can claim lineage to its formation.

Ringo Starr And His All Starr Band: Live At The Greek Theatre 2019. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The public understand that they are in a fortunate position when they see the curtain rise, when the first chord is struck, when the radiant smile of appreciation, groove, and love is flashed across the stage like a returning hero, for how often can we expect an all-time legend, arguably one of four men to whom their name shall be revered long after music history eats itself, and one to whom fills a room with more than just a song and a memory, but a vibe as well, to keep producing fantastic nights for the crowd given that time is always against us.

Cary Balsano: Not Like Sheeran. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Always be ready to take a step out of your comfort zone, as an artist, as a listener, it is a sacred duty to your mind and your soul that what you enjoy and practise is only the surface level of your endeavour, you must in effect go punk to stride forward; and if nothing else it will concentrate your thoughts on seeing a larger, more detailed picture evolve before your eyes.

Jim Pearson: Your Stupid Life. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Never think your life is dull, never allow the thought that your existence in this world means little, or next to nothing, to take hold…all it takes is a single spark in the most unique of organs on the planet to prove that your life means more than what you have been led to believe, or even that in which the inner voice will elaborately whisper about what you conceive to be is Your Stupid Life, but in which lays the falsehood of an identity not wanting to reached, the imposter syndrome to which a mind has achieved greatness.

Immaculate. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Emile Hirsch, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Greene, M. Emmett Walsh, Alex Sgambati, Oliver Moore, Tiffany Smith, Joel David Moore, Gianna Wichelow.

We all have our price, we all have that one figure in our minds in which a stranger could offer us the kind of escapist fantasy in which we come out on top; not quite a deal with the Devil, but a transaction with burdened peace, an arrangement that will test our nerve and the construct of what we perceive as reality.
