I was brought up on the Lightning Seeds when i was little and i like them quite a lot. Their music means quite a lot to me and i believe their music will stay with me for years to come. I recently brought this CD from the Record and CD Fair which opens once every so often and i'm so glad i did since there are so many amazing and super inspiring songs on this record. The songs on this particular record are taken from the first 2 albums ''Cloudcuckooland'' and ''Sense'' and they are all amazing and musically diverse. All the songs on this record have been independantly written and produced by the lead singer Ian Broudie since he is a very talented songwriter who knows how to write songs that are uplifting and positive. The Lightning Seeds are not Christians but they have still made some songs that are lyrically positive. Musically this album is diverse and exciting and it will either light a smile on your face or get you on your feet to dance around the room in excitement. It will also take you on a rollercoaster ride and take you to places you have never been before.
Ian Broudie tends to explore quite a lot in his music and he always tries something different on each album he records and that is what speaks volumes into my life. I am hoping that ''The Life Of Riley'' will play in the Theme Parks and inspire others to fasten their seatbelts and go for an awesome ride.
The song deserves to be played blasting loud.

I like it when bands actually create their own music that is original and ahead of its time and are not letting the passing fads get the better of them. The Lightning Seeds are one of those bands that are truly making their own music and it paid off. We really need a lot more new bands and artists that are willing to say no to fashion and fame and be willing to make music that has never been created before.

There are a lot more sounds and vibes that haven't been explored yet but they are still lurking somewhere. Sometimes we need to dig into the underground in order to find music that we never knew existed. If you are about to start making music and writing some brand new songs, can i encourage you to dig deeper and keep on exploring. You need to start unlocking the creative spark that is in you and inspire others to do the same as well. Don't concern yourself with what is popular and in fashion since popular music is getting way too over repetitive. I am getting bored of what is in the charts to the point that i really want to escape from it. I want to keep on exploring different musical territories and i would like to inspire other people to discover music that is way beyond the typical. 

This album will inspire you to unlock the creative spark and and it will take you on an exciting journey of exploration. It is so exciting and you will be totally surprised at what you will find.
Are you ready for the ride of your life, this CD is recommended.

ALL THIS WORLD IS A CRAZY RIDE, SO TAKE YOUR SEATS AND HOLD ON TIGHT.

I am going to review this album as a massive fan of Indie/Britpop and a highly dedicated music listener and Moseley Shoals is one of the most amazing albums that you will hear in that era. This album is well crafted and the sound is at a very high quality which is what we really need in music. If you want to create an amazing record that is ahead of its time and that stands out, it takes quite a lot of focus and a lot of patience since songwriting is very hard and you obviously need the right team of individuals you will support you in the album making process. I have listened to Moseley Shoals so many times and it still sounds just as fresh as it was back then and let me tell you, there is so much talent going on in this recording. The vocals are powerful and soaring, quite a lot of emotion going on. The guitar riffs are so off the chart and so incredible. The drumming is very skillful and has quite a lot of rhythm and the Bass guitaring is just as amazing as well.
The producer of this album is Brendan Lynch and he is an absolute genius at producing awesome and explosive sound effects and making the music sound so awesome.
Brendon Lynch has also worked with Paul Weller as well and has done a good few lynch mob productions. You will hear some lynch mob productions on this record, especially on the spine shivering closing track ''Get Away''. The song starts of quiet and later on it goes in a different dimension and it kicks off to a very explosive ride of your life.
Moseley Shoals opens up with a classic britpop track ''The Riverboat Song'', with its catchy guitar riffs and awesome singing. I think the whole thing is incredible. I quite like the high quality sound effects as well.

Ocean Colour Scene have pushed the creative boundaries and taken some musical risks on this record and they have put so much effort on the 12 songs. Without the production genius of brendan Lynch, Moseley Shoals wouldn't have as explosive and mindblowing as it is. The album is just so adventurous and so stunning that i am never going to stop enjoying this album.
Moseley Shoals is one of my favorite albums of all times and i will hopefully keep on listening to this record for years to come. There are loads of other albums and other music that i like and i will keep on exploring but at the end of the day, I will always enjoy this album for what it is.
The reason i am reviewing this album is to help new bands and artists be more creative in their music.

If you are a Christian, that is a follower of Jesus and you are interested in making music, you can always post your comments to let me know if you are either forming a band or becoming a Singer Songwriter. You can always let me know what sort of bands and artists influence and inspire you to make some good quality music and be more original in your creativity. You can always let me know if you are performing in Pubs and Clubs and how you are making music to bring hope to people and restore communities. I am interested to hear about it.

This is the 2nd time i am reviewing a Mat Kearney album and it is just another quality album from an artist who can both sing and rap. Talk about being versatile and multi talented and yes it is a compliment. This album is completely fresh and different from what he has done before and he really knows how to try something different on each of his recordings.
Now about Mat Kearney, he is a Christian and his music has got a lot of attention in both the Contemporary Christian Music world and the American Mainstream Music world and his songs deal with issues going on in everyday life. Mat Kearney writes and sings from the heart and his recordings are purely genuine and real. ''Just Kids'' is example of this and that album is pure genius.
Musically it is fresh and up to date while at the same time original and it is not a carbon copy of   albums that are in the charts. Mat Kearney is such an amazing artist and i am very chuffed about this album. It is just so brilliant and it will grow on you the more you listen to it.

I am ever so excited about reviewing another album by such a multi talented artist who's music is consisting of Rhythm and Blues, Retro Soul and Gospel and he does it really well. This album is amazing from start to finish and it is well crafted with so many awesome arrangements that are bright and colourful. Mike Farris has a very soulful voice that will amaze you if you are into the likes of Al Green, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, etc. Some of those musical influences are evident on this record and also you will hear some Rhythm and Blues, and Gospel as well and they are all freshened up for your listening enjoyment. I think Mick Hucknall from Simply Red will be impressed with this record since it is very soulful and bluesy, and also quite vibey as well.

This album contains 10 songs and the CD lasts for over 40 minutes, and yes this CD came out in September 2014.
This album contains some traditional Gospel and Spiritual songs and some new ones as well and they are all brilliant and very well performed. Mike Farris's Christian faith is evident on this record and this album sounds like it should be played in Pub's, especially on the Jukebox.
I believe this album will inspire you to shine God's bright light for all the people that we come across and that we will broaden our perspective concerning worship.
Mike Farris is one of the people that is worshipping God from the heart and he is doing the kind of music he is really good at and is programmed to do.
Always remember, i am reviewing different albums by so many various artists so to give you lots of good choices of what you might enjoy. That's all i have got to say. May God bless you.

I have quite a lot of positive and amazing things to say about Kings Kaleidoscope since it is about time they came on the scene. To every person reading this blog who enjoyed listening to their mega awesome album ''Becoming Who We Are'' and were inspired in a very positive way. I totally appreciate all of you since it encourages me to continue reviewing more music. I pray that God uses this blog in an awesome way to impact a lot more people and ultimately help people get to know God through his son Jesus Christ. Without God's help, i wouldn't have been able to review any music whatsoever since he downloaded a music passion into my system and i would like to use it to be a blessing to others. All i have to do is review all sorts of different music and i will leave the rest to God since he will take care of the rest. To everybody that is reading this blog and are being positively impacted and are coming to know Jesus Christ as personal saviour, I am ever so excited about meeting up with you in Heaven. God bless you all.

I like Kings Kaleidoscope quite a lot and ''Becoming Who We Are'' is one of my most favorite albums of all times since it is so musically colourful and kaleidoscopic. Their music paints a very small glimpse of heaven since the sounds are ever so destinctive and new dimensional and you cannot box them into one genre cos there is so much talent going on in the whole record.
I do believe Kings Kaleidoscope are going to pave the way for more originality in praise and worship music. They are the next band since the David Crowder Band to push the creative boundaries in praise and worship. I hope and pray that new doors will open for a lot more boundary pushing and adventurous creativity in worship music and that the trail will be blazed for more future generations to connect with God. There is a lot more creativity out there than you think and you've got to dig deeper to find it. God's Kingdom is bursting with so much multi and hyper explosive creativity that hasn't been explored yet. If you are going to be creating some new worship music that connects people of all kinds to God, you must use the voice that God gave you and create your own music. Forget about copying other worship leaders because i have had enough of worship music repeating itself time and time again. If you are bursting to create worship music that is fresh and brand new, i pray that God will open up new doors for you and that he will bring you to a place where you can be freely creative without being pressurised to conform to conventional standards that are going to eventually lose quite a lot of spark if it keeps on sounding the same. I hope and pray that God will give you quite a lot of support because you cannot make it on your own. You need someone who genuinely cares about you and sees the best in you and i pray that your creative spark will be set free.
We need to work together and live in harmony with each other despite our differences because time is running out and we haven't got long in this passing world. God's Heavenly Kingdom is coming soon and things are going to be totally amazing for those who have Jesus Christ in their hearts.

Finally to Kings Kaleidoscope, i am one of the many individuals who have been impacted by your music and i am so excited about meeting up with you in Heaven and hopefully if God allows, i will see you before then. You have cheered me up without knowing and i am ever so proud of you.
Keep on making more music.
To God be the highest glory now and forevermore. God bless you all.
