    Review – The Tangent – Was

    “Like songs built around samples of earlier songs, or cover versions that are more famous than the originals we build this map of our lives. My 1970s were all about the wonders of discovering music. Vietnam was on the periphery of my consciousness, and, like the lack  of those phones at Knebowrth were later realised,…

    Review – Glass Hammer – Black Light
