THE glam rock album...
Contagious grooves and delightfully fun vocals aplenty, Electric Warrior wasn’t just the first mainstream glam rock record, it was also pretty much as perfect as the iconic genre got (if only it wasn’t for that damned Bowie fella...)

Selling England by the Pound showcases all of progressive rock’s worst elements: overly pedantic, pointlessly pretentious, and by the end of it you feel as though you’ve watched an hour of CBeebies on magic mushrooms.

Other standout tracks include “neither/nor”, for its constantly evolving sound, “cut me”, for its chilled-out, ... read more

Neither her nor there from the Welsh electronic musician. Too many tracks rely on a cheap and quite frankly boring ambience to push them to their crawling end. Grating vocals sometimes ruin above-par instrumentals, such as on “Re-Wild”. “Jeanette” is probably the highlight here, a bouncy electronic track that perfectly treads the line between the beautiful and the chaotic.
