It is in the arrogance of our species that we believe we have the unalienable right to investigate all that we see, not out of curiosity and how we can live alongside all things natural and unexplained, but out of a wanton desire to manipulate, to influence, too confirm our mastery over all we survey.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
In our rush to embrace the modern age, where we believe our lives are governed by a progress that is all knowing, where we believe we have a say in every decision made and that our lives matter to those we entrust our vote with, we have forgotten one detail to which put us, as a species, on the road to shaping the planet in our image; that of chivalry, of gallantry and the mark of respect to those who pave the way of tales of sorcery and the values and allegories of the Knight and the quest to which they are bonded.

The internet age is a double edged sword that looks as though it will forever wield a divisive touch to everything that will appear through the void and for all to notice, too be subjected to, for all to find and enjoy a moment’s diversion for.
For every moment of rare beauty or thrilling masterpiece you might stumble across, there a million serpents spilling their venom of dissatisfaction and scowling features of disgust at you for not believing in their message, for ignoring their own attributed sense of self-worth as they dictate that what they do, they do it for the public’s health and enjoyment.

Christmas pulls on the heart strings for a reason, and if we took away the forced gluttony of overspending, of treating it as if it was a period to over-indulge, to practise a sense of religion that for the rest of the year we have no truck with, all that would be left is a moment in which we reflect during the short hours of light and the lengthening shadows of dark, of all that we may have achieved, who has been by our side and who has supported us during the bright, unclouded days.

It is the Misfits who, if not make the world go round, then at least interesting enough to stay and watch the merry-go-round in which they take centre stage, add depth and colour to our lives, and can spark the revolution enough to change people’s minds on how they carry themselves in life, even in the face of straightlaced and conformist opposition.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
There is a time to be practical and there is a time to immerse yourself in beauty, the lie of grace, the sincerity of belief, and if you are fortunate these strangers will be chance or design, get together and find common ground in which to share time with an audience, in which to be considered a storm which possesses the roots of all that would make any artist blush with pride at the abundance of feeling in which to work with.

There can surely be no argument as to the importance of H. G. Wells’ contribution to British literature, amongst the finest of his generation, and continues to inspire, to stimulate the minds of readers and would be writers around the world, whether in Science Fiction of which he is the undoubted Godfather, and through his political convictions as a staunch socialist and the writer who set the ground work for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and being adopted by the fledging United Nations not long after his death, there cannot be many who have not felt his touch upon their own writing and thought as the man who bought the Martian invasion to England’s soil.

What is great power without responsibility, a question posed by every comic and graphic novel artist when introducing a new superhero for the fans to wrap their imagination around.

To be Held, is to understand closeness, it is to feel connected, to hear of others find ways of communicating such expression without the use of physical touch is to recognise that the world over, we need contact more than we yearn solitude.
Kim Edgar’s latest release exemplifies that sentiment of persuasive truth with a kindness of touch that is embedded throughout the songs of Held. Such insightfulness which captures the meaning whilst extolling both vocal and musicianship is to be admired, to have the conversation of communication being played out in the open, rather than being buried in the hushed tones of silence.
