Magazine Sixty Music Review with Tommy Veanud
Greg Fenton reviews Tommy Veanud – All Or Nothing – Hathōr Imagine you have one hundred new pieces of music to listen through in one go. I wonder what it is that primarily catches your ear in that process. For me, I’m not always interested after all this time (35 years of reviewing music) in…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Dave Clarkson
Greg Fenton reviews Dave Clarkson – Dreamadelica (Music for Dreamachine) – Waxing Crescent Records A story waiting to be told turns the page between celestial choral harmonies, guitar, and synthesized strings as Prelude to The Subconscious introduces the thought process into your consciousness. Given the album title, it’s perhaps not too surprising that this collection…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Hot Sync
Greg Fenton reviews Hot Sync – Whego Flow EP – Witty Tunes Whego Flow is an irresistible production. Full of the stimulating, funky spark igniting life and the seasoned excitement of seeking night-time highs. It’s also all about the fizzy energy of hot rhythm plugged into driving bass and a chorus of voices twisting into…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Sio
Greg Fenton reviews Sio – Twilight – STY TRU BTS It’s hard not to be in love with this song. While it’s likewise easy to celebrate Sio’s honeyed vocals as they drift seamlessly across the smouldering, jazzy flavours of the music as chords blend tastefully together with perfect percussion set to a low-slung tempo that…

Greg Fenton reviews Yard One – One Day – Tact Recordings What is it about One Day that makes me feel about modes of transportation?

Magazine Sixty Music Review with NiCKY
Greg Fenton reviews NiCKY – by – PRAH Recordings When the piano is played so eloquently such as it is here then there is nothing better. Add to that NiCKY’s resonating voice and something rather wonderful is created. I like the way the melodies are stretched, dipping into harmonious well-being while at others feeling more…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Jay Tripwire
Greg Fenton reviews Jay Tripwire – Gone Insane – Either Recordings Reaching out to somewhere in between the fizzy cosmos of futuristic space and the lowdown, hard-hitting fierceness of House and brutal basslines is Gone Insane. I want to use the word Awesome here. As always the artist takes the mood and works it into…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Letters From Mouse
Greg Fenton Reviews Letters From Mouse – Clota – Subexotic Records The notes gathering across Clota are reminiscent of past times although they are connected to a brooding storm of current electrical conveyance. By referencing Scottish myth and legend firmly roots the album’s original concept in the past however as the sounds roundly testify the…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Millsart
Greg Fenton reviews Millsart – X-Ray Zulu – Axis Records It’s like you’re reading a novel lost in the intensity of the plot, something to do with a detective discovering something mysterious and strange. The further you detail the revelations the more enthralled you become. The music created by Millsart doesn’t conform to any particular…
