Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Miami is not only a place, it is an institution. A city in which British travellers minds may turn to when thinking of the one place on America’s Eastern continental edge to which the history (New York, Philadelphia, Boston), the gambling and sense of old style profiteering (New Jersey) and the consequence of squabbles, in fighting and racial tension, (anywhere that verges and bleeds into North V South) play almost no part; Miami is the Mediterranean of the North Americas, it is the place to go when everything else has been done and what should be next is the rest and relaxation, the apparent fun and the soulful looking for meaning in later life. Miami is not a place; it is a state of mind.
