Greg Fenton reviews Silver Man – Paint Me in Gold – 3 Bar Fire Records Music of quality and distinction lies at the heart of David Silverman’s latest production.

Greg Fenton reviews FeelGood – Dirty Fly – DIRTYBIRD The week may have ended, but the music hasn’t stopped. Dirtybird, and more specifically FeelGood, serve up this notably fiery groove in a world that sometimes lacks musical excitement, primed with an explosive edge that turns your head.

Based on G-force’s recreation of the 1978 Prophet 5 synthesiser, it may have started life as a playful idea and is now a fully realised…

Greg Fenton reviews Geins’t Nait + LØ + Scanner – Behind The Door – Offen Music Any reason is a good one to revisit this release from a couple of months ago, ostensibly because it now appears on CD for a limited time – perhaps so limited that it has already gone? Downloading is always…
