The new Marillion album - An Hour Before It's Dark.

In my eyes one of their best.

A thought provoking mix of social comment from the environment, the pandemic, poverty in Sierra Leone, Leonard Cohen and finally a 4 part suite that finishes with an emotional peaen to care workers that will bring many people to tears (this one included).

The use of the Choir Noir is as inspired touch.

There will be those that say - Marillion ended when Fish left - well to me they started when Fish left - that will be a controversial view and will probably get me some haters - but the band have been going for 33 years with Steve Hogarth up front and lyrically this is a triumph.

Our daughter is currently on holiday in Paris, and was walking round EuroDisney wearing a Black Sabbath T shirt I bought her for her birthday last month. A bloke saw the shirt and asked her "What's your favourite song ?" and she replied "'Fairies Wear Boots', what's yours ?", to which the bloke responded "I don't know any".

Revisiting a guy called John Wesley.

If Spotify is good for one thin it is that you can catch up on artists you used to listen to and then find out they have released a load of albums since you last listened to them.

Far from Saints. It's Kelly Jones from the Sterophonics and two people from an american band i'd never heard of. Is excellent. I was never a huge fan of Sterophonics but i can arrogantly give this my stamp of approval

Sitting in my workshop, painting a pair of owl bookends carved from the ends of 4*4 fence posts, listening to the dulcit tones of Rage Against The Machine.

Managed to get hold of all six volumes of the Meat Beat Manifesto side project Tino's Breaks in FLAC format.

If you enjoy looped breaks, fat bass lines and sampled nonsense then this is right up your street.

The Ironsides - The Web.

From their 2023 long player, Changing Light. 

A great album, featuring eight instrumental cuts of lush strings and fat soul beats.

Very reminiscent of Stefano Torossi & Armando Roelens or Ennio Morricone, or even David Axelrod.

This afternoon's workshop background accompaniment was provided by that iconic 80's guitar band, Big Country.

They did a fab OST to the film Restless Natives!
