The Midnight Ramble, High Time/Live. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The one thing you can be sure of listening to The Midnight Ramble’s new album is that throughout the three new songs on offer and the elegantly captured live set is they don’t consider this in any way to be a ramble, a quiet stroll or saunter on a summer’s day taking in the sights after what has been a long cold winter in search of that elusive sunshine. High Time/Live is a statement, a jive on the promenade, an exertion of sound that mocks a sub four minute mile as being too slow and dull.

The Midnight Ramble, Sink The Pieces. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It is easy to miss the greatness of an album, the glowing and fitting tributes that came its way. No matter how hard you try you cannot physically hear every single album released in your life time and beyond, the small matter of occasionally sleeping is a big hindrance in the pursuit of hearing great music, let alone the 8-12 hours a day that are spent working. By picking and choosing what you listen too, you miss out on a nugget, a mind-blowing sliver of gold that others have heard but because you were sleeping you missed. It can be seen as somewhat inexcusable but you do have to sleep sometime.
