Concerts: The Wildhearts, Ferocious Dog: SWG3 Glasgow 4th December 2018
25 year! 25 glorious years! Break-ups, make-ups, bust-ups and, well, truth be told, fuck ups, The Wildhearts have had it all. And more. What we always knew they possessed is songs. Lots of shit-kicking, neck straining, insightfully crafted and powder keg shafted songs. Tonight was the last of three celebrations of the band’s debut album, Earth Vs The Wildhearts, as it reaches its twenty fifth year and while there were a couple of cracking EPs that arrived before this 1993 behemoth, for many this is where it all started. And while there’s been a barrage of knock you sideways, in your face, socially conscious explosions ever since, the affection shown for Vs is that of the mould maker, the stance taker and world shaker. As debuts go, Earth Vs The Wildhearts was, and is, right up there with the very best. As ever, the foursome of Ginger, CJ, Danny and Ritch not only did their legacy proud tonight, they made it fresh, relevant and utterly, utterly indispensable. Along with a throng of the loud and prouds, Sea of Tranquility’s Steven Reid was there to celebrate.

News: Tim Bowness announces new solo album Flowers At The Scene
Following the release of 2017’s Prog Award-winning album ‘Lost In The Ghost Light’, Tim Bowness returns with his fifth solo album ‘Flowers At The Scene’ on the 1st March 2019. Produced by no-man, the album is a vibrant collection of 11 strikingly diverse songs.
Tim comments: “'Lost In The Ghost Light - which was always intended as a one-off - felt like a perfect conclusion to a particular way of writing and working. In the wake of that, Flowers At The Scene very much feels like a press reset.
It was an exciting project to put together and it was great working closely with old sparring partners, Brian Hulse and Steven Wilson. Steven was initially brought in to mix the album, but very quickly he was doing far more and developing production ideas alongside Brian and I. Listening to pieces such as Not Married Anymore, Borderline and The War On Me, we both felt that the project had more than a hint of the spirit of no-man and it became obvious that this was a no-man co-production rather than a Bowness/Wilson one.

News: THEATER OF THE ABSURD Release New EP, KING OF TWILIGHT
THEATER OF THE ABSUR writes:
New York City-based progressive metal veterans THEATER OF THE ABSURD have released the EP “King of Twilight” in anticipation of a forthcoming full-length album. Featuring two adventurous new compositions and an inspired take on a Nektar classic, this release demonstrates the band's maturity and spectacular elan. The title track is a new interpretation of the 1972 original, invigorated with blistering intensity and the outfit's signature male/female vocal scheme. "Adrift in Time" is an introspective and emotionally complex piece of music that incorporates a string quartet to great effect. In "Cor Inquietus," an ambitious progressive affair that's exclusive to this EP, intricate instrumentation and an extended Fender Rhodes solo take center stage. Mixed & mastered by Brett Caldas-Lima (Megadeth, Cynic, Devin Townsend Project) at Tower Studio, Montpellier, France, the release is available via BandCamp, iTunes, and all fine purveyors of digital media.
