Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Eric. Tell us about how your love of music and the piano came about, where you first remember hearing it being played and how you feel it expresses what you want to articulate through music? I have loved music since I can remember. Some of my earliest memories of music are

I don’t often get too excited about Disco flavoured records these days as either the samples are tediously cliqued or it feels like retreating backwords on an never-ending loop, especially given there is so much more future excitement waiting to be found. That said, Sgt Slick & John Course’s Love Vision pulls certain heart strings

Do all visionary roads lead back to Bam Bam Where’s Your Child. Somewhere along that journey a wrong turn was taken ending up in a very dark alley. But thank god for those murky spaces as some of our most impressionable music is found there in-between imagination and reality. What’s not in doubt is the

This an exceptional release. An exception to the rules for its sheer depth of emotional story telling which is all at once about past memory, present tense and future hope.

Who doesn’t love the drama of crime? Then again you doesn’t love Jazz. This late 50’s sizzling combo is inescapably awe-inspiring featuring a feast of Film Noir scores across the roulette of excellence taking you into worlds unknown. This is real close your eyes and you are there stuff. Maybe, just maybe, they don’t make

Each lighthouse has its own story to tell, one which encompasses the isolated air of familiarity ingrained within these peculiar, lifesaving buildings. Real Gone Kid’s richly intense production serves that suggestion well providing an uneasy interplay of tension between the drums, bass and undulating stabs that seemingly combining in endless numbers. Darkly emotive and compelling

Art for me is sometimes about what happens next. Not so much what you see in a given moment captured but what story unfolds in the next frame. The unseen, the unknown. Whether that is getting lost inside a conceived picture or photograph or being subsumed by pieces of music it remains about the excitement
