John Martyn's - Solid Air - streaming from HDX - missed it on vinyl first time around but will probably buy the new release  on vinyl. Very well put together album.

Hi BN, Although a bit dark, a great album.  The latter part of "Empty" will always be special to me as I "looked my demons in the eye" from 2004 - 2010, and continue to still to a certain extent.  To paraphrase a literary quote, sometimes I listen to music to know I am not alone.  good listening, regards, Jeff A

2016 - Tidal...

According to the main music press, I should not bother with this band. But who gives a shit what music critics think anyway?

From Airbag's modern take on prog' rock to MMEB's original prog' rock, splendid.

In Flight safety - we are an empire - streaming from hdx. Bit of a mixed bag - some good tracks, some not quite to my taste, but overall good played every now and again.
