The Blackheart Orchestra – Mute

“Surely one of the busiest gigging outfits on the UK scene, something I can attest to as scarcely a week goes by without me adding to their burgeoning list of shows.” The opening remark in my review of The Blackheart…

Davey Dodds – The Rite of Spring

In what might be considered his third – and certainly most recent – musical incarnation, Davey Dodds returns with solo album number three. Released in fairly quick succession, Kernowcopia in 2017, Toadstool Soup from last year and released early last…

Edenya – Silence

As is often the case, several weeks can elapse between first hearing an album and finally getting around to giving it a ‘proper listen’. A caveat to this revisiting is – do I still remember the music? Happy to say…

A Different Aspect #56

In this update we feature: • Jon Gomm – The Faintest Idea • Kiku Latte – Fantasia [EP] • Sonus Umbra – A Sky Full Of Ghosts • The Guildmaster – The Knight And The Ghost • Deep Imagination –…

Deep Energy Orchestra – The Return

One of the outstanding releases from 2018 was Deep Energy Orchestra’s Playing With Fire, so with the announcement earlier this year of the follow-up, the succinctly titled The Return, anticipation was high. For those who purchased DEO’s debut album, I…

Hinterlandt – Seven Tales

Having recently reviewed the excellent The Other Side, the new studio release from London based trio Quest Ensemble, I was certainly in the market for more of ‘the same’. So when Hinterlandt’s latest offering came up for offer on the…

Quest Ensemble – The Other Side

One of the standout releases of 2016 was the debut, and to date the only release from London based quartet Flux. ShadowLines was an enthralling and utterly delightful collection of tracks imbuing Western and Indian cultures and textures, resulting in…
