House Concert

I went to a house concert for the first time on saturday night. I wasn’t entirely sure of what to expect, but actually I was pleasantly surprised by the event. From what I hear these kind of events are more popular in the US but haven’t really taken off here so far.

Even so, it was a good evening. Nice people, some interesting music that I probably wouldn’t have listened to otherwise, and, not a huge cost to it either.

I’d probably go again if I get the chance, irrespective of what the music is.

Interplay

I listened to this album 3 times yesterday and it is growing on me. I guess one of the things that makes it difficult to get into is that I’ve already heard a couple of tracks which I really liked, so I sort of think the whole album should be like that, and it isn’t entirely.

Still, it is a good album, and I think it’ll continue to grow on me.

Update on ‘Back and Forth’

I’ve been a bit quiet about my new audio project called ‘Back and Forth’. It is still on the go, but it has stalled a bit for now. One track is nearly finished, but sadly the rest are still at a fairly raw stage.

I’m hoping I might get some more time to work on this stuff at the weekend and move it forward, so there may be an update then.

Blanc Burn

I listened to this album for the first time today. The very long awaited album from Blancmange. On first listen I’d say it is a bit of a mixed bag. Maybe a curate’s egg. Good in parts.

I’m not saying I don’t like it you understand, there are a few tracks that I really enjoyed, but some that missed the mark in my book. I think it might take a few more listens to get into it completely, so I’ll have to try and do that before I go and see them at the Koko next week. I am looking forward to that a lot.
