Pure Reason Revolution – Above Cirrus (2022)
Published:
First album in a couple of years from this most interesting of bands. Always had a soft spot for them since hearing the Bright Ambassadors of Morning and buying it on CD Single! Anyway, they are back in 2022 with a rather excellent new album. No mean departure from them in terms of sound: same […]

Deep Purple: Now What?! (2013)
Published:
Artist / Title: Deep Purple: Now What?! (2013) Month Reviewed: May 2013 Format: CD Buy: [featured-img] It’s been a good while since the marvellous Rapture of the Deep album . . . so it was with baited breath that I listened to the new Purple album, wondering what they could possibly come up with to top one of my favourites. Shouldn’t be surprised, really, […]

Black Sabbath: Technical Ecstasy (1976)
Published:
Artist / Title: Black Sabbath: Technical Ecstacy (1976) Month Reviewed: March 2011 Format: CD Buy: Reviled by most folks as a record by a band missing the ‘spark’, this is one of my favourite Sabbath albums, if not my all-time favourite. Only Rock N Roll Doctor mars the ultimate Sabs record. Bill Ward sings the […]

Nowhere Left to Turn (2006)
Published:
Clocking in at 54 minutes and just 4 tracks, this is the best album we have ever made: it’s the most in yer face, guitar crunching, hammond rocking album yet! Track 1, In Passing (6.34) is a rollicking guitar fest with some ace riffs and pounding hammond. A great opening number that has a slinky […]

Studies in Heartbreak (2005)
Published:

A marvellously eclectic album that gets better with every listen. Release Info Proximity Records | ESCD 17 | Wed 01-06- […]

Anhedonia (2004)
Published:
After a two year wait – the longest gap between ES albums ever – the new studio album is finally upon us! As you can guess by the song titles, this is another conceptual piece. Musically, the album is very dark, brooding and littered with mellotrons. This is our most orchestral sounding release, too, with […]

Architect of Light (2002)
Published:
Based on the adventures of a collective determined to escape a society enslaved for aeons by technology and the Architect of Light, the album follows their progress towards redemption and, finally, freedom. This 70 minute master-work fuses rock, progressive rock, jazz and folk into a dazzling display of showmanship and skill. Always melodic and challenging, […]

Palindrome (2001)
Published:
Album number 13, and what an absolute stormer! Title track sounds like a cross between Nirvana and Pink Floyd, by way of Camel! Ken Senior once again excels on the vocals with Christopher Knight back on the drums and Steven McCabe playing everything else. The beautiful acoustic guitar based ballad ‘Still Fluttering’ is a real […]
