- Kite Parade – Disparityby David Edwards on October 7, 2024 at 5:00 pm
It can be somewhat of a cliché when reviewers claim a new album is an artist’s best release to date, especially after the previous ones have been heaped with praise, but I’m going to have to unashamedly trot out that…

- Rick Wakeman – Yessonataby Basil Francis on October 4, 2024 at 5:00 pm
It’s understandable that one could be sceptical of a release such as this. After all, Mr Wakeman has cashed in on his Yes connection as well as his own back catalogue more times than I can possibly count. Yessonata certainly…
