Atlantaeum Flood, One Day. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

What does One Day mean to you? Without doubt we are guilty of not always making the most of the time available to us, the twenty-four precious hours in which we while away time and find to our cost that between the raindrops and the moments of sunshine, we did nothing to enhance the fact that we were here, that we are as lost to the minutes as we are the years in which we breathe, in which we exist in.

Mishra, The Loft Tapes. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

When something new comes your way, you can either embrace it or you can deny it, ignore it and let it slide away from your grip as easily as mist through your fingers. Many will travel down the road of ignorance, the modern age demands that we are somehow too busy to listen to something that isn’t within our perceived comfort zone, instead being satisfied by the constant drum beaten to which we have become accustomed to.

Johnny Lloyd, Low Fidelity: Vol 1. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A melancholic mood is one bound together in reflection, the vibe becomes more about the introspection of the self rather than being the life and soul of the party, and whilst others may avoid such confrontations, to refuse to look deep inside their own minds, to encounter, to place trust in looking beyond the Low Fidelity of what makes every person tick, that is the place where inspiration can surface without warning, and the results are often more intriguing.

Watchmen. Television Series Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Andrew Howard, Louis Gossett Jr., Jean Smart, Sara Vickers, Tom Mison, Tim Blake Nelson, Don Johnson, Frances Fisher, Yahya Abdul-Mateenn II, Jacob Ming-Trent, James Wolk, Jessica Camacho, Dustin Ingram, Cheyenne Jackson, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Chris Whitley, Jake McDorman, Hong Chau.

Who watches the watchers, probably the same enlightened people that first flocked to the writing and artwork of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons when the sensational and ground-breaking graphic comics and subsequent novel Watchmen was released, who watches the watchers, arguably those who saw the novel turned into a tremendous, if undervalued by the initial cinema going public at the time, film of the same name…who watches the Watchmen, anyone with sense should.

Yvonne Lyon, Songs For Christmas. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The meaning of Christmas has become distorted, recklessly fought over in what seems to a titanic battle between consumerism and wanton displays of excess, and yet if we allow ourselves to dig a little deeper into our collective souls, we may find the spirit of the time of year is not dominated by what we have but what we are prepared to rejoice in, peace, love, harmony and the ability to hear a voice that speaks to the time and be at one with its song.

The Milk Carton Kids, The Only Ones. Album Review.

In the end The Only Ones who matter are those who seek to either build up your own dreams and those willing to help you through the darkest hours, anything else is cannon fodder for the masses who seek to deride your accomplishments and who take pleasure in their apathy.

For those who actively keep a look out for the kids whose picture adorns the sides of milk cartons, they are the ones to have on your side as we enter a new decade of music produced, the simple pleasure of a song that captures the best of what has been and which paves the way for time ahead, introspection, speculation and uncontainable.

Lexie Green, Black River. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A long continuous note, the stirring of an introduction that is measured in the profound as well as the meaning in which depth has a vested interest, this is the moment in which the astonishing mind of Lexie Green is reintegrated into the lives of the music lover and one which the anticipation for the eloquence of her thought is greeted with discerning fondness.

Finn Paul, Wind & Stone. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is not much in life than can withstand the Wind & Stone when the elements decide humanity needs to be subjected to passion and the response of intimate warning that comes with Time. The wisdom of the age precludes that the walker must turn their face to the wind to feel life and that no hair remains unturned in its wrath and gentlest blow, whilst the block of stone that you pick up is just but a statue waiting to be fashioned.

Kankou, Kuma. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The merging of styles is always enhanced by the thrill of embracing a different culture; to stay within your own narrow point of view, to reside and seethe at the outside world and insist that the sense of pure only comes from your perceived understanding of self, that is when others have the right to step forth and have words with you.

To embrace another culture, to listen to it breathe is to know that regardless of where you come from, you can allow yourself to be fulfilled by constant reappraisal, that you can be an advocate for change.

Happy Death Day 2U. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Phi Vu, Suraj Sharma, Sarah Yarkin, Rachel Matthews, Ruby Modine, Steve Zissis, Charles Aitkin, Laura Clifton, Missy Yager, Jason Bayle, Caleb Spillyards, Jimmy Gonzales, Peter Jaymes Jr., Rob Mello, Kenneth Israel.

There surely isn’t that many people who looked at the classic American comedy Groundhog Day and thought, what would it be like if we ratchet up a notch and added a killer to the storyline, however many did then they would have been satisfied with the result in the 2017 film Happy Death Day; however, with a change of pace and style, with the addition of the knowing glance, Happy Death Day 2U became a finer place in which to make the comparison.
