DavidA talent like this doesn’t come along very often - ahem, unless you come from the lower South Island. Nadia Reid, Aldous Hardling and Marlon Williams are part of the mother folking good South Island Kiwi’s pushing their esoteric but trending trendy, angst-ridden tunes around the globe.

DavidI swear, I will NEVER attend a live Mogwai event. I’m long past going to sonically damaging gigs where your ears fight for recovery for the next few days and your internalised speech sounds like an old transistor radio.

DavidAnother souvenir from one of my bin diving adventures, this is a very interesting mix of musical genres. To actually determine what those genres are however, is a rather perplexing challenge.

DavidIt’s Friday. It’s literally the weeks end. Time to give your brain the heave ho and leave all pretensions at the front door.

DavidI still haven’t trawled through all of my $2 “take-a-punt” CDs from Te Whare Putunga. After my Steven “Bloody” Wilson marathon last month, I’m ready for some fresh sounds.

DavidSimply put, this is probably the most perfect Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree release in the entire SW catalogue. It’s a big subjective statement to make but it’s hard to prove otherwise on the strength of this brilliant record.
