Sandy Denny & The Strawbs
LEGEND surrounds this alliance between the first lady of British folk and the much-loved Strawbs, which many now think of as the original British rock-folk album.

It’s an endearing yet strange mix of Denny’s ethereal, fluting voice and melancholy material and The Strawbs’ more knockabout folk.


Songs such as Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Tell Me What You See In Me are flawless while the original album with out-takes and unreleased demos make it perfect for all music fans.


The Express - VERDICT 4/5
Joan Jett - At the 100 Club

Joan Jett is mesmerizing, a consummate performer and musician who can still rock out with the best of them Distorted magazine review of the 100 club show - published 16/06/2010

As she led the charge into a singalong of ''I love Rock''n''Roll'', which has been her calling card for almost 30 years, Jett denied her fans not a milligram of the simple, unthreatening pleasure the song can bring, emitting a series of fabulous yowls. She was a sound performer, a hearty singer, and she had a vital quality, which we rarely associate with rock - decorum. - The Daily Telegraph review of the 100 club show - published16/06/2010

Why did we ever care about Courtney Love when we had Joan Jett? She''s been missing from this country for too long - Holy moly.com

  And You Will Know Us By the Trail Of Dead
 
...Trail Of the Dead first got themselves noticed thanks to jarring rhythms and off beat songwriting that was as good as their homescooled-kids' bowlcuts were terrible. Festival Thyme is a four-track prelude to their sixth studio album, The Century Of Self and, on this evidence, it shows no signs if their quirky powers diminishing. It pitches itself somewhere between chamber rock and luscious indie music, like Death Cab For Cutie or Jane's Addiction channelling something of the artier-than-thou constellation records roster. It's a strong, electrifying treat. 4 K - Kerrang

  City Of Prague Philharmonic
 

Silva Screen must be one of the most carbon neutral record companies around,given the amount of re-cycling they do. This latest collection of classic film themes contains cues already featured on such albums as Music from the Films of Steven Spielberg,Psycho – The Essential Alfred Hitchcock,The Greatest Cinema Choral Classics,The Great British Film Music Album,The European Film Music Collection and various ‘Essential Classics’ featuring the works of Michel Legrand,Maurice Jarre,Elmer Bernstein,Nino Rota,Ennio Morricone,Max Steiner and Bernard Herrmann (you get the idea). There’s nothing wrong with this per se,and first-time buyers will no doubt appreciate the diversity of tracks on offer,which take in everything from Gone with the Wind to The Da Vinci Code (the latter also featured on – wait for it – The Essential Hans Zimmer Film Music Collection). For hardened soundtrack buffs though,the collection will seem very second hand and familiar. That point made,there is a good selection of genre cues spread over the six discs,including tracks from Dr. No,2001,Twisted Nerve (the ‘whistling’ theme used by Tarantino in Kill Bill,Vol 1),The Exorcist,Superman,Close Encounters,ET,Star Trek,The Lord of the Rings,Spider-Man,Harry Potter and,inevitably,Star Wars. The quality of playing (care of the Prague Philharmonic) is generally very good,though the standard does occasionally slip (the tempo on Jurassic Park is a tad uncertain,as is some of the brass work). At the end of the day,with all objections aside,there’s no arguing that this is a pretty definitive compilation - despite the barefaced cheek of it all. SSSS - Howard Maxford - Starburst

  Phantom Limb
  'Phantom Limb' is the eponymous title from the Bristol based six-piece. So here's the thing. I'd not heard of Phantom Limb when the CD turned up at my desk. The CD is very dark in colour,with gothic writing style on it. So I prepared myself for a blast of what I assumed to be a hard rock band. Imagine my surprise when out pours sweet soulful songs. There's a story here about not judging books (or CD's) by their cover. This album has a predominantly soulful sound to it,with a feeling of soft deep-south country and bluegrass. The highlight is undoubtedly the beautiful sounds are raw power in the voice of singer Yolanda Quartey. Even though only in her early twenties,Yolanda has previously fronted Massive Attack,and contributes vocals to their forthcoming album. You start to get a feel about what you are dealing with here.

To describe the musical experience I can only think of early Aretha Franklin,with musical stylings of The Band (think 'I Shall be Released' and 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down').

Stand out tracks on the album for me are the first single 'Don't Say a Word' and 'Withering Bones'. Both are beautifully arranged with a bluesy / gospel feel to the tracks. 'Run' has thought provoking lyrics,a catchy melody that may belie the words,and perfect use of piano and double bass evoking feelings of early Tracy Chapman.

The 10 songs that make up the album come in at a little under an hour,with the songs taking as long as they take,and not giving into 3 minute radio slots.

I'm not going to lie. I adore this album. It caught me by surprise,but I can't stop listening to it. Go and buy it. Stop whatever you were doing,put some big old headphones on and listen to it. Debut albums like this don't come up often,and they deserve lots of praise for it. Magic.
Glasswerk.co.uk - Dave Curtis

Bristol-based Phantom Limb’s self-titled debut album comes at you like a veritable soul and gospel classic from another time. The sound is organic,capacious,respectful to its antecedents,the songs almighty (especially ‘Don’t Say A Word’,‘I’ll Never Be The Same Again’ and ‘Playing With Death’) and the performances inspired,while Yolanda Quartey’s vocal delivery p****es all over the competition out there.
Hope transcends despair on the likes of ‘My Love Has Gone’,‘Run’ and ‘Good Fortune’ – hope engendered largely by Quartey’s soaring voice. Perfect.
