Tiki Black, The Sound Of The Broken Wand. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There will be sorcerers and magicians who insist you cannot perform without an intact wand, conductors who claim that the baton has to be unbroken and true for it to have any effect on the orchestra, they are of course wrong, for The Sound Of The Broken Wand is in the heart and soul of any communication, any magic spell weaved that leaves you entranced by what you have been made privy to; it might not be the spell or the incantation you were looking for, but in the right hands it is influential, it is charming, it is boisterous, uplifting, and embracing.

Tiki Black, Out Of The Black. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It may not happen often, but sometimes you come across an album that once you have heard it you realise what an honour, a rare privilege, it was to have taken the C.D. out of the plastic cage and set it free to sing and flourish.

Out of the Black by the sensational Tiki Black may have been released in 2013 but when you find an album of such pure quality which contains a voice which seems to get more beautiful the more you let the C.D. play along its merry way and the haunting performance of the collection of musicians that contribute to such a stirring debut.
