Collectress – Different Geographies

Collectress return for their new album, Different Geographies, so named in response to the process of their collaboration, band members having scattered over recent years away from their Brighton origins. They began to look for new ways to create their…

Wishbone Ash – Coat of Arms

50 years ago, students from Exeter and Torquay combined to become Wishbone Ash. It was 1970, and I was nine! I didn’t hear anything about them until 1974 when I moved to Devon, and although they remained unheard(ish) and cult,…

Parachute for Gordo – Better Understood by Children and Animals

I wrote recently about VASA, ahead of their performance at the 10 Years of Chaos gig, and how prior to this year I’d never heard of them. Parachute for Gordo is another band I have missed out on until this…

I confess, I was not aware of Davey Dodds until the opportunity to review this album came up. The Interwebs and his press release tell me that Davey wrote the songs for and fronted a symphonic folk rock band called…

Karakorum – Fables & Fairytales [EP]

Well this little EP has surprised and disconcerted me, and in fairness to the band the complexity it presents deserves much more than the exploration, dissection and analysis of the contents of a quick ADA review. Many bands are in…

Art – Asylum

Music and drama are perfect partners when it comes to telling stories. The ability to weave the carefully crafted threads of a plot along with shifting changes of mood, tempo and events by using the layers and textures of a…

Camel – Breathless

As we all know, there are albums that divide opinion. Sometimes these opinions are so extreme as to make the uninitiated think that different albums are being discussed. In this first of a possibly semi-regular feature, depending on, you know,…
