Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Those who only witness life as if being shown the world through the short peek of an ajar door have no concept that somewhere in the vicinity will be a series of open windows, curtains drawn back, the welcoming wave of visitors and other on lookers already enjoying the fact they have been privileged to see into that realm at that time.

At The Edge Of Light there is reason and there is the shadow, the light focusing on what gives us imagination and purpose, the shadows hiding for now the imperative of intention, the judgement of others in which the continuous rock face of their lies, their superficial engagement with our own lives, is lit up by the spark of realisation that we have to conquer the fear of the unknown first and then see the cliff and the rock face for what it is, the higher ground, the conviction of your own journey.

It is when the unknown becomes clear that we can feel like we have lost a friend, the moment may take months, years even, before the realisation kicks in that an artist or group may never take to the hunting ground of the studio again, and what you have left is to be cherished, to be seen as the reminder of a relationship that once was.

The 1990s are as far away now as the late 60s and early 70s were when that insistent decade began, a decade that was bookended by the gesture of hope as the aftermath of the Berlin Wall finally came tumbling down just a few short months before, and the finality of the party realised as the insanity of the Y2K bug bore down like a spectre, driving everybody to distraction and chaos.

We will crane our necks and look skyward with interest when a plane flies overhead, our imaginations, perhaps our in-built jealousies, will take over and wonder what it is like at that moment, to be so high, to witness the world changing rapidly from land to sailing the skies over vast oceans, and where those people are going to, what interesting events they will be part of, far from this distant shore. We will do this automatically and without concern, the moment fleeting and until the next plane goes over our heads, we will just lose interest in what takes to the air.

If you stop and think about it, the chances are you will talk yourself out of almost anything that your heart desires, the mind and the soul will argue, the body will become a wreck and the fallout of this will have serious repercussions on the relationship of all those you love and hold dear.

What we envisage, what we dream of, is quite often so far hidden in the Horizons that we can barely see it as our own truth, it is covered only in a glorious tempting haze and one that is for the vast majority of time, forever out of reach. It is the act of forever hope that we that we keep striding towards, that we reach out to because we are cursed with both reason and imagination and one that is starkly shown as the plucked flower of memory when we succeed or fall in our attempt to go beyond the prospect to which our life was set.

The world has taken a strange turning, instead of being ready to guard against the sense of the insidious and the pathetic, it seems many are willing to embrace the concept of self-serving individualism, a spectre of another time when to speak your mind in one direction was met with the utmost evil of retributions.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The tragedy of life is that for the most part we are only ever existing, we are never actively participating, comfortable in our routines, happy in the predictability, almost habit formed state of being in which have driven in and parked. At some point we find ourselves refusing to believe that the once blameless searching for excitement and even tension filled groove could instead lead to inertia, into the bowels of static apathy.

There will always be those that assume with absolute certainty that to display melancholy is an abhorrence, they see it as willingness to wallow in the self-pity or the act of misery, they will openly declare war on you and leave messages condemning you for the dejection and unhappiness they perceive you spread with inner glee. There will always be those people, the best thing to do is ignore them, for melancholy is not a state of downhearted gloom, just perhaps a realisation that at times you need to reflect on what bought you to this point in time and the regret of all you could have done.
