Katie Melua, Album No.8. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

In ambiguity a sense of coyness and obscurity can be found hiding, waiting for another’s deft touch to bring the subject out from the shroud and veil which has been placed auspiciously around it, to reveal the message and meaning, to coax the ambiguous from its butterfly like cocoon and let it stand, unhindered, with a flourish and with its tale ready to be told.

Having someone to care for and having someone always on your mind are not exclusive bed fellows when it comes to dating, to love, to togetherness, and yet we somehow tie ourselves up in knots as we try to reconcile the two emotions and meld them into one large, often gut wrenching, passion in which we imagine we know what they are thinking at all times.

Various Artists, The Song Club Album. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

A picture can inspire a thousand emotions to be felt in the soul and stimulate the mind to embrace a creative urge in which to highlight evil deeds committed and celebrate the moments of beauty that come up unexpectedly; a picture may be worth a thousand words, but it’s wealth is also deemed priceless when the photograph is viewed from every perspective by a group of people with the power to add significantly to its meaning.

Agatha And The Curse Of Ishtar. Television Review.

It is perhaps in keeping with another moment of her life, that the time after her divorce from her first husband, Colonel Archibald Christie, should also be shrouded in a little mystery and intrigue, and regardless of the truth of the matter, there is always a little fun to be had in a slight alternative history which adds to the alure and grandness of Agatha Christie’s overall powerful and driven persona.

The Deep End, Who Do You Love? Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Love is an age old question that never quite understands that it cannot be defined, organised or labelled, Howard Jones asked what it was, Tina Turner demanded to know what it had to do with anything, and even Foreigner couldn’t get a pin to stick when they humbly enquired about wanting to know what it actually was. Love is an enigma sewn into a riddle and displayed quite often with the heart on the outside where it can be easily broken.

Bobhowla, Midnight Fears. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

If you are misplaced, there is a good chance it’s at the Lost and Found where you will be saved, especially as the clock turns between one day and the next, the moment in between Time which for a split second has the ability to turn a life upside down, which can make the difference between rationality and illogical thought and where dreams can morph into Midnight Fears.

Professor And The Madman, Séance. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision 8.5/10

We mock what we don’t understand to our downfall, and whilst it is healthy, indeed critical in the time we live in, to seek the truth from the voices perpetrating to come from the other side, we must also be aware that there is a chance that the Seance will convey such information to which might be of benefit to us, that the presence in the room is here to deliver tidings of joy, happiness and a beat that has the toes tapping, as well as the ghostly knocks rapping on the table in harmony.

The Go-Go’s. Film Documentary Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision 9/10

There is a lot of talk that gets bandied around as if it is the truest form of opinion, laced with the narrow statements of statistics which presents itself as facts, is somehow justified when it comes to declaring just who was the most important, perhaps the supremely influential, or even the finest to have ever graced a stage and performed music that sparked a revolution.
