Bonfire Radicals: The Space Between. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Time was when the unexpected was truly one of mystery, the impending release that wasn’t covered in fanfare or immediate elaboration by the music press. The sniff of a single being the solitary clue to the direction of the album, The Space Between flourish and reveal being one of magic expanse and how your day would filter and mould around this new presence between hours, between waking moments.

Noah Deemer: The Sleepwalker. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Is it sleepwalking or is it swimming in the wake of the stream of consciousness that moves our souls in ways we never dreamed possible, both seem to push the mind further than it might feel comfortable, but once it is accepted as a conduit for thinking beyond the perceived normal then it is possible to view any artform as inevitable, that thinking alone is not a pastime to be shackled or ridiculed by those who seek to imply that the action is unproductive.

Panic! At The Disco: Viva Las Vengeance. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

The mindset of the human being is such that we either look back on what we were with fondness or with sheer regret, there is no sense of the benign or indifference to be found within the past, it is either glory or criticism, pleasure or pain, and it is in that analyse that perhaps shapes our future to the extent that we enter middle age and beyond with trepidation; the wish to do better, to be seen as evolving, to refuse to shout with exclamation of joy and bow down to the anger of our own self-effacement.

It’s Karma It’s Cool: A Gentle Reminder. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

In the days when pop singles were a physical moment of beauty, a piece of substantial art that was coveted for its warmth and presence, as well as the hopeful indomitable style of the cover which was a reflection or a symbol of the disc’s lyrics and meaning, It’s Karma It’s Cool’s latest offering would have been one that would have no doubt been prized by many as a depiction of its genre, and one in which its creators would have had their name plastered across such publications that promoted the artists in gloss colour pictures and revered tones.

One way to ensure that the dystopian future of policing never happens is to ensure we find ways to ridicule it, that we mock it with intelligence, that we pour scorn on every circuit, and ask the those with the means to sow the seeds of derision, the artists with keen eye and sharp observation skills, to portray the need for AI in certain walks of responsible life to be curtailed.

Phil Langran: Falling Light. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Subtly is not everybody’s forte, it is an art form in itself, one that is either innate or one that is developed over time, and for some they never quite understand the reason why others see them as a bright star burning up the sky and not the Falling Light that dims the soul and puts emotion in rest.
