What I like about this is the way it opens…. The drums on this is incredible! It starts off with a stop and start sequence from 0:00-0:21 where it settles into a groove that comes and goes through out the song, the subby 808 bass slides in and we are off to the races! What …
Richard Davies has already shown his musical ability on his album ‘Travel Without Movement’; on this lengthier recording, he makes good on the promise of more musical exploration.

I didn’t have many friends at school and nothing really engaged me until I uncovered a drum kit hidden under a dust sheet picked up the mismatched sticks and started to tap about. You are currently on tour with …
Hello Adrian how are you? I am doing good. Loving life. Laughing. Taking each day one step at a time! You started playing drums in church from an early age, what was the catalyst for this? I started playing when I was 3… So that’s extremely early. But It was just something I was called …
