Georgie, Georgie: Live! Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The recognition of the right atmosphere can be the most important factor in determining just how your soul is treated in the future; should you flounder and find yourself in the dark, the sound of your voice the only comfort, then you have chosen poorly, however, should you place your trust in the live setting and strike out with passion and honesty, then all is revealed as beauty.

Hayley Ross, The Weight Of Hope. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We can strive for perfection, but in that pursuit, we often overlook the details that make the journey worthwhile. Being flawless is admirable but it is often shrouded in untethered pride. The Weight of Hope that we look to is what keeps our imagination on track, the accomplishment in the quest to deliver something that others can aspire to recreate a far better option in which confidence and courage will be seen to invigorate the organic and the natural sound we really desire.

Jesse Dayton, Mixtape Volume 1. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Reinvention is not the preserve of those that seek to change their background story, in the right hands it can also add a sense of glorious insight to how we can all interpret life, how the subtle cues in interaction can take on a new meaning. Whilst some might see it as a sacrilege, a sign of disrespect to the originator of the scene, to those with art filling their veins, it can be an act of devout sincerity, an offering of thanks to the creator that they have been inspired.

No Hot Ashes, Hardship Starship. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

When the day comes that off world intelligent life decides it is worth the risk to land on Earth, it will probably be because they will have worked out that humanity has, in the words of Roger Waters, amused itself to death. There will be no scorched Earth policy, no subjugation of the masses, No Hot Ashes or remains in which to pour a silent thought, and perhaps tear, for those who tried to warn others of the impending doom; just the collected rubbish, the flotsam and jetsam of a once proclaimed civilisation.

Otto & The Elevators. Album Review. (Re-issue).

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Time moves on, whether we are here to witness it or not. For some Time flows ever onwards, seamless, sedate, continually alluding to motion sickness, the feeling that we are not in control of life, but instead that Time rules against us, the passage of experience lost in the haze and the memories that begin to fade.

Ghalia, Mississippi Blend. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is an undoubted sense of fascination that is attached to the Mississippi that few other mighty rivers can ever hope to attain, the perception of history it carries, both for ill and for the hope it may have once inspired. The blend of endless creative invention, the necessity in which it has thrived, the blues, the rock and the voices it has carried. Such is the privilege of the Muse that it has been blessed to offer thought on a musician who digs deep into the psyche and their talent; such is the honour that Ghalia offers in her brand new album, Mississippi Blend.

Flight Brigade, Chased By Wolves. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The children of the night who serve the ideal that the journey is an adventure, no matter where it leads you, always seem to create the best music, as if they not only place themselves in the company of spirits and the bounty of storytellers who see the beauty and strength that comes from being Chased By Wolves and the sensual application of imagination.

Piston. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

If the landscape and vision before you isn’t thrilling enough and making your heart beat faster, then move on, there is no law that states you have to be the same person that you were 12 months ago, there is no commandment that dictates you have to lead with your initial thought; indeed it is with an act of maturity and responsibility that your first read through ends up being the canvas for a piece of art of greater significance.

Runrig, The Last Dance-Farewell Concert. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

In politics they say that history is written by the winners, however, in art, winners know when it is time to say goodbye to the form to which they have dedicated a substantial part of their lives to and unarguably been the leading stars of their chosen field; winners can be replaced, artists become eternal triumphs!
