his one caught my ear because of the 60s psychedelic vibe, along with the jazzy feel. Not only that but the timing as to when it came to me made me smile. This is a collaboration with the @thersc ‘s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and thirty years ago this month I was actually in a …
This track runs through different elements from beginning to end it was a challenge to figure out where to begin with this review! In any case it caught my ear and it’s pretty damn good really. In the intro, we have we have a synth bringing things up, making it all dreamy, then it’s joined …
Here’s one to clear the sinuses! Off to Liverpool we go with this one and it’s a punk rock track from Rivia, it hits the ground running with with an energetic bass and drum package going, the vocals come in good and strong, almost angry –“In right off the deep end,I don’t wanna be like …
Well! This is pretty spectacular! We have a solid blues jam here, it starts off with a glissando up the piano, underlying it is an organ, giving you that expectation that something cool’s about to happen, the cymbal swells kind of give you a spoiler alter to that. Add to that the double bass… The …
Throwback Track Of The Day “Groove Is In The Heart – Deee-Lite.@theonlyjosie reminded me that this track was 35 years old. I remember the year it came out, it was a heady time, it was pre Madchester, Oasis were still in nappies and Grunge was still in the Delta Quadrant. This further brought the possibilities of …
On first listen I thought I’d been transported back to 1984 – neon signs, enough hairspray to destroy the ozone layer, and the ubiquitous Linndrum which I’m suspecting I’m hearing here. This has all the makings of a track made in the nerve centre of Prince’s genius, and it’s done so well! All the funk, …
This one is a pulse racer! The piano sets the tempo, and just runs! It’s a great little jazz instrumental, using bass, drums, and piano, the whole track is off kilter it seems the time signature flits between a few bars I gave up counting because quite frankly it had me grooving. It messes with …
Kristina Koller describes herself as ‘an evolving jazz-centric artist,’ and she is steadfastly making inroads into the music world. She is a songwriter, arranger & vocalist, and her music transcends generations, while embracing the history and mood of traditional jazz. Her album ‘Walk On By’ reimagines the Burt Bacharach songbook with intriguing, genre-bending arrangements and …
This hits the ground running as a country record, the brushes are out on the drums going at a fair old tempo! The guitars twang, it feels like this song should have been recorded in a prestigious recording in Nashville, but no this is straight out of the UK and it just really does hit …
I recently had a chat online with @weeblade about @petshopboys and it made me think of this song. It was never released as a single, but was on their Behaviour album from 1990. This is typical of that era of the PSBs, it’s moody, and having been recorded on analog synths, it gives off that warmth. Lyrically it’s …
