Terence Blacker, Playing For Time. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

To step back from the rush and haste of the world, even when it has been forced to re-evaluate its principles and the price it is willing to pay for the appearance of progress, is to be seen as Playing For Time, the imagery of hesitation, of uncertainty in the realm of expectation and demand galloping over the horizon as if to suggest that someone else will step in and claim the glory of what is rightfully belongs to the artist who wavered too long in their final delivery.

Terence Blacker, Enough About Me. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The art of satire is one that must be preserved at all costs, to those that seek its obliteration we must always be on guard against, the alleged well-meaning hides a darker, nastier, almost totalitarian streak. If this is left unchecked by the ability to observe and have the arsenal of absolute wit to dismantle the pompous and the arrogant it will become a bleak and despotic world, in which humour of any type, if not banned, will be vacuous, boring and will be used to oppress by being aimed at the wrong people, the poor and the undervalued in our society.
