The re-worked version of Blancmange’s first album. It’s a really good set of tracks and whilst all the tracks are clearly recognisable as the original songs the new versions are very good indeed. I’m enjoying them.
Month: November 2013
Another fantastic night seeing Blancmange

Once again they were awesome live. I’d expect nothing less though.

I had never seen this band before, but was completely blown away by their sound and visuals. I managed to record a little video of them live and I’ll put it up soon, but it was amazing.

And back to the Hornet’s Nest
I’ve had this audiobook for about 4 or even 5 years now and I still love it. I can remember the first time I listened to it and just how much I enjoyed it. The thing is, I still do. It’s a great Doctor Who story, part of a nice arc too. The whole story arc runs to about five hours, which is just right as far as I’m concerned.
It’s such a good vehicle for Tom Baker’s doctor. It allows him just the right amount of space to be himself and move the story along too.
I decided to listen to all three story arcs from the pen of Paul Magrs. This is the first, the Hornet’s nest, then there’s Demon Quest, then Serpent Crest. I wish that there were more of these, but now that Tom Baker has started to do stories for Big Finish I’m not sure that there will be space for any more of these. Still, never mind. Whenever I listen to them I enjoy them and find something new in the story.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this gig, but it was actually immensely good fun. I knew a lot more of the songs than I thought I would do and the atmosphere was fantastic, as was the venue.

Fantastic event as ever.
Doctor Who: The Light at the End
So it arrived. The Big Finish 50th anniversary adventure, and I’ve been listening to it today. In fact I’ve listened to about half of it so far. Often I don’t enjoy multi-doctor stories. I find that they can be a little confused. However, so far, this story is quite good. I’m enjoying it and the interactions between the doctors, especially the 4th and 8th especially.
So I’m looking forward to part two and also the ample CD extras.
