This album came out in 18th May 2015.
Music Styles. Electronica, Psychedelia, Rock, Jazz, Funk.
Saturns Pattern is an amazing and adventurous follow up to the futuristic ''Sonik Kicks'' album and Paul Weller definitely goes up to the next level creatively. ''22 Dreams'' and ''Wake Up The Nations'' took Paul Weller in a more experimental direction and ''Sonik Kicks'' is completely dazzling and exciting. This new record ''Saturns Pattern'' continues Paul Wellers unbridled creativity and it paid off. It is ever so fantastic from start to finish. This record contains nine tracks and they are all awesome.
This album is quite different since Paul Weller has resisted the urge to repeat his past albums. Saturns Pattern is proof that Paul Wellers creative fires is still burning brighter than ever and the songs are ever so incredible. This record opens up with an inventive Electro Psychedelic Rock song ''White Sky'' and the positively uplifting title track ''Saturns Pattern''. ''Long Time'' is quite a short track that will rock the house. it is featuring Josh McClorey on the guitar and he is an unbelievable guitarist from ''The Strypes'' and they are an incredible band.
This album is a perfect resource for new bands since i have a strong passion for creative excellence and i would like to see future band take creativity to a higher level.

UB40: Tyler.
27.4.15 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Hello again, i am going to do a one song review once again and the UB40 song ''Tyler'' is one the first album ''Signing Off'' which came out in the year 1980. I was brought up on UB40 when i was little and thankfully, i still like their music.
''Tyler'' is a song that talks about an African American man whose name is Gary Tyler and he was falsely accused of the murder of a white boy by racist white judges. The corrupt authorities wrongly accused him based on his racial background
The murder happened on a school bus that was filled with African American high school students, and this took place in Louisiana, America during an attack by a racist white mob. Gary Tyler was falsely accused of a crime he did not commit and he was innocent. The UB40 song ''Tyler'' explains that Gary Tyler has been imprisoned for 5 years and the authorities won't let him go. This is total injustice and i think the trial was so unfair and it seems to me like there is quite a lot of racism going on. I hate racial prejudice so much and i totally believe Gary Tyler should go free.
If you would like to know more about Gary Tyler, You can go on google and look up ''Free Gary Tyler'' for more information since i cannot explain it very well. I can only do the best i can on this blog and i pray that God will use this special review in a powerful way to contribute to Gary Tyler's freedom. Can i encourage you to pray that Gary Tyler will be released from false imprisonment cos this cannot go on. This has gone on for too long and it should stop right now. Gary Tyler is a very innocent man so please pray for him.
May God bless you all.

Lightning Seeds: Pure.
28.3.15 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Year of release: 1996.
Music Style: Indie/Britpop.
The Lightning Seeds are based in Liverpool.
Other Indie bands from Liverpool: The Farm, Cast, Space, The Coral, The Zutons.
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.

Ocean Colour Scene: Moseley Shoals.
26.3.15 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Release Date: April 8th 1996.
Influences: The Kinks, Small Faces, The Beatles, Paul Weller.
This album is a perfect resource for raising up future Bands and Artists. Producers as well.
If you are a Christian and you are going to be making some good quality music in the future, this review is for you.
The Band Members. Simon Fowler: Lead Vocals. Steve Cradock: Lead Guitars, Background Vocals.
Oscar Harrison: Drums, Damon Minchella: Bass Guitars.
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.
If you are a big fan of Britpop/Indie music, Here are so other recommended albums that will inspire you in your creativity.
The Lightning Seeds: Dizzy Heights.
Paul Weller: Stanley Road.
Cast: All Change.
Blur: Parklife.
Blur: Modern Life Is Rubbish.

The Style Council: Greatest Hits.
27.2.15 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Year Of Release: 2000.
Music Style: Jazz/funk/R&B/Soul.
This review is for Christians who are going to be either making or producing music in the future depending on their musical tastes and what music they want to create.
I am going to review a compilation which i have never reviewed before and i will review this album from the heart. The Style Council: Greatest Hits is jam packed with some of the most vibey music you will ever hear. If you have been listening to The Style Council for a very long time, then you will know most of the songs that are on this compilation disc. I was brought up on The Style Council when i was a very tiny infant and i was at nursery at the time.
I will do the very best i can to review this CD and i pray that God will take care of the rest.
As you know, Paul Weller formed The Style Council after he split up The Jam and he started to move well away from the Rock and Roll/ Punk direction. As a result, Paul Weller started to experiment different musical styles and he was well interested in underground funk and American Northern Soul/R&B.
The reason Paul Weller decided to leave The Jam was because he wasn't interested in fame and he didn't want to be idolised in the first place. I am hoping to review a couple of albums by The Jam in the future to get the message across that Paul Weller didn't want to re hash his previous albums and do the same thing over and over again. In fact, he always wanted to do something different with every new album he record. This interest in American Soul and underground funk was reflected on The Jams final record ''The Gift'' and one of the well known singles on ''The Gift'' is ''Town Called Malice'', a Tamla Motown influenced song which borrows a bass line element from ''You Can't Hurry Love'' by Diana Ross and The Supremes.
The Style Council have written some songs that deeply addressed some social and political issues at the time and it was the era when Margaret Thatcher came to power and that is dating back to the 80's. You can buy this CD that i am reviewing and you can read the CD booklet to know a lot more about the message that The Style Council is conveying concerning political and social issues.
There is also quite a lot of racism going on in this globe and i totally hate it so much. I have made up my mind to be culturally diverse in the music i listen to because i don't want to represent the culture i live in. I want to stand out from the crowd even if it leads me towards listening to artists that are in the underground music scene. The only culture i like to represent is the heavenly culture and i am pleased to be a diverse citizen, end of story.
In the past, i reviewed ''Welcome To Diverse City'' by Tobymac and it is a musically diverse and exciting record. I quite like Tobymac and he is such a multi talented legend and a full on inspiration.
Check out Tobymac and the Diverse City Band, and you will be glad you did. Tobymac's music is a blend of Pop/Rock/Funk/Soul/Reggae/R&B/Urban/Hip Hop and Techno. A highly recommended artist who is in the CCM scene.
If you are sick and tired of racial and cultural division, I recommend ''Walls Come Tumbin Down'', one of the most awesome songs that is on this Style Council compilation and it is also on the album ''Our Favorite Shop''. I will hopefully review that particular album someday in the future.
''Life At A Top Peoples Health Farm'' and ''How She Threw It All Away'' are proof positive that Paul Weller didn't want to mimic and represent the Pop Culture at the time. These 2 songs are on the album called ''Confessions Of A Pop Group. Other Well known songs include ''You're The Best Thing'', ''Long Hot Summer'', ''My Ever Changing Moods'' and ''Shout To The Top''.
''Solid Bond In Your Heart'' will get you dancing in no time since it is one of the songs i really like alongside some of the others that are on this CD. ''Big Boss Groove'', is a very funky song that is deeply influenced by the underground funk scene. ''Speak Like A Child'', is a very distinctive song with a jazzy vibe and it is another song that i quite like. I quite like the sound effects on that particular track.
This Greatest Hits compilation finishes with a very positive and upbeat track ''Promised Land''.
If you are a Christian reading this review and you are either making music or you are going to make music in the future, i need to let you know on this blog that you cannot shy away from topics that deal with issues that are going on in the culture that we live in. We need to address the core part of why the world is as it is because this culture is in a very serious condition.
With that being said, I pray this CD will inspire you to create music that is original and out of the box
and write lyrics that deal with social issues of the times we are living in from God's point of view.
May God Bless You.

Style Council: Confessions Of A Pop Group.
18.2.15 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Year Of Release: 20th June 1988.
Music Style: Jazz/Pop/R&B/Soul/Classical.
This album is dedicated to The Style Council fans who thought Confessions Of A Pop Group was a real gem. Confessions Of A Pop Group is a musically diverse record and it is divided into 2 parts,
The Piano Paintings and Confessions Of A Pop Group.
The Piano Paintings consists of 5 tracks and it blends in some grand arrangements of Jazz and Classical music, the second track is done in acapella at it is very distinctive.
The other half of the album which is Confessions Of A Pop Group contains elements of innovative Pop, R&B and soul and there are six tracks. This whole album has a total of 11 tracks, some of them go on for a long time. track 5 is a three piece suite and it lasts for 10 minutes. The closing track with is a title track goes on for 9 minutes and it is one of my favorite songs on this record.
I listened to this album when i was very little and it was about the time when i was at nursery so it takes me well back to that time period. My Dad had this album on vinyl record.
The lead vocalist is Paul Weller who also used to be in The Jam and he is one of the best songwriters of all times. he sets an awesome example for artists who are willing to go against the popular music trends and create original music.
This is an original album and i believe this is the best record and most well crafted record by The Style Council and is one of the most misunderstood records in music history. I totally disagree with the negative reviews that this album has received in the time of it's release and i felt the reviews were so demeaning and unfair. Music artists should have the rights to be freely creative since music should be bringing colour to this globe and bring people together.
The music industry has put in a very unfair standard concerning selling a million copies and sticking to the formula that is working and it really should end right now. I believe this album i am reviewing will play a part in expanding your musical horizons if you are willing to go beyond what is popular.
When you listen to The Style Council: Confessions Of A Pop Group, don't just listen to a couple of tracks, play the whole album from start to finish and don't skip anything. you have got to give it chance to grow on you.
The Singles on this record are ''Life At A Top Peoples Health Farm'', and ''How She Threw It All Away''. and they are amazing tracks that will play a part in broadening your musical tastes and will inspire you to move past the plastic fabrication in the Pop music culture.
My favorite song on this album is the title track and it is musically innovative and exciting.
It exposes the popular music culture of the time and it will challenge you to be true to who you are rather than what you are not.
I pray this album will be used in a powerful way to challenge music artists and music listeners to step out of their comfort zones and take a chance on music and art that is more adventurous and risky, and don't fall for music that sounds the same all the time. May God bless you.

It exposes the popular music culture of the time and it will challenge you to be true to who you are rather than what you are not.
I pray this album will be used in a powerful way to challenge music artists and music listeners to step out of their comfort zones and take a chance on music and art that is more adventurous and risky, and don't fall for music that sounds the same all the time. May God bless you.

Imagine Dragons: Night Visions.
16.2.15 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Release Date: September 4th 2012.
Music Styles: Electronic/Indie Rock/Folk.
Musical Influences:Arcade Fire, Muse, Nirvana, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Mumford and Sons.
Imagine Dragons are based in Las Vegas, USA
This Secular Music review is for Christians who are going to make some incredible music in the future.
Imagine Dragons are one of the most musically creative bands that are not at all content with the status quo and the album ''Night Visions'' is a real example of this. this album is a lot more interesting musically than most of the current music that is in the charts. Imagine Dragons have taken some risks and the 13 songs on this record sound distinct from one another and they don't sound too samey and repetitive. This record is quite adventurous and the high quality is completely amazing from start to finish. The Electronic influences are evident on the popular single ''Radioactive'', and ''the 2nd track ''Tiptoe''.and the most explosive and innovative closing track ''Working Man''. ''On Top Of The World'' has a very singalong feel and the music is quite jolly and folky. ''Amsterdam'' is a hair tingling rock song with a powerful chorus that is meant for stadiums and arenas.
As a bonus, I would like to recommend Arcade Fire's recent album ''Reflektor''. It is a very creative and uniquely original album. Another resource for future bands and artists.
Imagine Dragons set a great example for bands to follow and this record is a perfect resource for future bands and artists, especially Christians who are going to be making music in the future depending on what music they want to create.
We need to be raising up a lot more bands and artists in Great Britain and they got to be musically trained if they are going to create and Christians are not exempt from this.
We are running low on Christian Bands in Great Britain and this is serious. I will not tolerate uncreativity amongst Christians because the Church of God was meant to be the most creative force on this planet. If the music that Christians are creating are not as excellent and as High Quality as the Non Christian Bands and Artists and they are not pioneering something brand new and innovative, then something is wrong. Christians should give themselves a reality check if they continue to be embedded in their religious bubble. and Christians, if you truly want to make some new music and if you truly want to make an everlasting and eternal different in this modern generation, you need to be musically trained, and you also need a lot of accountability from spiritual mentors that will support you and help you grow spiritually. Make sure you are getting some musical inspirations that will challenge you to step into new musical territories and create something that is out of this world.
If you choose not to go to the next level musically, then you should stop songwriting until you are willing to make new music that doesn't sound the same, and for goodness sake, don't imitate other music makers.
I have been listening to music from an early age and i have heard so many different Bands and Artists of different cultures and backgrounds throughout the years. I have a very kaleidoscopic musical taste and i love experimenting different music both old and new. I will continue to hear out lots of different music and i will listen to different bands and artists according to the season i am in.
I refuse to listen to the same music and same artists over and over again and i will never stay in the same place. One of the bands i was listening to recently was The Cure and they have been going for years. The Cure are one of the most unique bands you will ever hear and and they are so amazing.
The lead singer Robert Smith has such an incredible and distinctive singing voice and the music is ever so incredible.
If you have never heard of The Cure before and you would like to hear their music, i recommend
The Cure: Greatest Hits. One of their songs i would like to recommend is ''Love Song'', it is the sort of song you can worship God with in your daily life, there are some good lyrics in that song.
This is another resource for future music makers.
If you are looking for another song you can worship God with, i recommend
Ian Brown: Love Like A Fountain, it is an album called ''Golden Greats'', a late 90's record. Ian Brown used to be the lead singer in the late 80's/early 90's Britpop/Madchester band called The Stone Roses and then he went solo. His solo stuff is incredible and he has experimented a different variety of sounds and styles over the years including, Acid House, Techno, Psychodelic/Indie Rock, Dance, Funk, Hip Hop and some other music styles as well. Ian Brown is an original artist and i have a lot of respect for him. I have listened to Ian Brown in the past and i am listening to him again.
We need a lot more original artists who are not content with what is popular in the charts.
Most important of all, i have a very strong faith in Jesus Christ and my true identity is found in God alone for i am a child of God.
God is the true source of everything that is creative so let us use our God given gifts and talents to bring hope to the communities across the whole globe and bring more people into God's Heavenly Kingdom. Be creative and be willing the clear the whole world of stagnation and apathy.
To God be the highest glory now and forevermore.

The Strypes: Snapshot.

Secular Music Reviews
Hello i am back thanks to the help of a friend of mine who helped me out in posting the album cover of the Band i am now going to review. I am going to review this album with the intention of raising up some new and upcoming Bands and Artists in the UK. If you are a Christian, that is a person who has accepted Jesus Christ in his/her life and is following Jesus, and you interested in making some awesome music that people can enjoy listening to, this review is for you. If you prefer to stay in the Christian Music box, this review is not for you. I am going to do things differently on this blog because we are sold short of inspiration and this generation is ever so musically confined and won't broaden their musical horizons. If you are serious in creating music that is awesome and without the religious boundaries, and if you are willing to fully tap into the creative force that is sourced in God, then i would like to encourage you to get some musical inspirations from Non Christian Bands and Artists and please don't get so wrapped up in the Christian Music bubble. Don't get me wrong, i do like listening to Contemporary Christian bands, but some of them, not all of them are too afraid to step outside of their comfort zone and they are repeating the same formula over and over again.
The Strypes are a Rhythm and Blues band who are based in Cavan, Ireland and they are in their late teens. This album was released in September 9th 2013 and to let you know, this album is absolutely incredible and it will blow your socks of. ''Snapshots'' blends in elements of Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues but with a modern contemporary vibe.
I believe they are one of the best guitar bands since The Jam, and The Strypes are similar to the Arctic Monkeys, one of the most popular bands that they toured with.
The first time i have heard of The Strypes was when i was looking up Paul Weller on the internet and found out that he was supporting them.
My close friend who is part of the Rugby Youth For Christ and he is another friend of mine went to see Paul Weller in concert and The Strypes were supporting Paul Weller at the time. If you would like to know about their musical influences, you can go on www.google.com and you can look up The Strypes on go on Wikipedia.
I bought this awesome CD from HMV's in Coventry and i was ever so impressed when i heard this.
One of my favorite songs on this album is ''You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover'', and it is musically and lyrically fantastic and thought provoking. The song kind of reminds me of The Fratellis since it is such a fast paced Rock and Roll song with a very jolly and lively feel. and by the way I quite like The Fratellis, their music puts me in the right mood. Their recent album ''We Need Medicine'' is an incredible album. My favorite tracks on The Fratellis recent album are the title track and ''Until She Saves My Soul''.
Now back to The Strypes: Snapshot.
''Blue Collar Jane'' has a very Modish vibe and the intro remind me of a song by The Jam called London Traffic which is on the album ''This Is The Modern World''.
''Mystery Man'', and ''I Can Tell'', keep up to the Rock and Roll tradition musically but is fresh and contemporary at the same time. The Arctic Monkeys influence is evident on ''What A Shame'', and the closing track ''Rollin and Tumblin'' is a very high energy and amazingly catchy song with blazing and distinctive guitar riffs, fast past drumming and some incredible singing.
This album is awesome, energetic and blasting loud from start to finish and i believe it set a great example for future bands who are looking for some inspiration and are hoping to be creative.
I pray that God will use this album in a powerful way to challenge other bands to step outside of their comfort zones and use our God given talents to our fullest maximum.
The reason why bands and artists create awesome and energetic music is because we are all made in God's image and it is God's image in us that helps us to be creative.

I am going to review a song that was released as a single in the year 1977 and it is by a band that i was brought up on at a very young age. The Jam consists of Paul Weller (lead vocalist and guitarist),
Bruce Foxton (Bass guitarist and backing vocals) and Rick Buckler (Drummer) and this song ''All Around The World'' was released after their first single ''In The City'', which took aim at the Punk Rock Scene and it started off with the lyrics, In the city there's a thousand things i want to say to you, but whenever i approach you, You make me look a fool.
''All Around The World'' is an amazing song and the lyrical content is inspiring since Paul Weller was a spokesman for the youth culture at the time. This song speaks against the negative and destructive influences of the London Punk Scene while at the same time promoting innovation and a new direction. It was clear that Paul Weller didn't want anything to do with what the media was promoting and he wanted to break out of the box and go against the trends, and The Jam wanted nothing to do with fame and celebrity life and they didn't want to be idolized either.
I pray that God will raise up new Bands and Singer-Songwriters to make a positive impact in the Pubs and Clubs with music that is excellent and high quality and lyrics that inspire people and wake this nation up. We need more amazing, talented and innovative artists that are willing to take God's light to the Pubs and Clubs and start a revolution and a brand new direction.

Ali Campbell: Cyber Bully Boys.

Secular Music Reviews
Cyber Bully Boys is a brand new song by lead UB40 vocalist Ali Campbell and it is on the new album ''Silhouette''. Ali Campbell is joining with Astro and Mickey on the new album and the new song i am going to review is ''Cyber Bully Boys which talks about bullying on the internet.
My Nan phoned me up to let me know about this song and i was surprised when she introduced me to this new song which deals with cyber bullying.
Bullying on the internet is a very big issue and there are certain youngsters that are being affected in a very negative way by this horrible behaviour and this is serious. it has to stop right now because this is evil behaviour.
Cyber bullying is where a certain individual writes negative and verbally abusive comments on the internet with the intention of hurting people in the process.
I hope and pray that God will use this song in a very powerful way to blow the whistle on cyber bullying and bring hope to people who are being affected by it.
To the christian youth leaders who are ministering in the schools, can i encourage you to listen to this new song because it can be a great tool for helping people to quit bullying people on the internet.
I pray that those involved in cyber bullying will be severely punished and that Facebook will be monitered big time so that cyber bullying can be prevented in the near future.
If you are being affected by cyber bullying, i would like to encourage you to get help from your school teacher and your parents. If the cyber bullying gets any worse, you can always call the police and they will give you a lot of help. I pray the cyber bullies will eventually be caught, arrested and banned from the internet, especially Facebook and Twitter so that vulnerable kids and teenagers will be safe from further harm.
May God bless you and i pray the schools will be a much safer place for the children and teenagers.

The Lightning Seeds: Pure.
6.10.14 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Music Style: Indie/Britpop.
Single.
On the album Cloudcuckooland which was released in 1990.
When I was a child, my Dad used to have this single on Vinyl Record and that was the very first time i have heard of The Lightning Seeds. I like this band quite a lot and they are one of the groups i have a lot of respect for since they refused to follow the modern music trends in the lyrical and musical delivery. For you who have been brought up on The Lightning Seeds, the lead singers name is Ian Broudie. I have quite a lot of respect for him and i can relate to some of the songs that has been written. This is definitely one of the songs i can relate to since the songwriting is brilliant and the lyrics are ever so unconventional compared to a lot of the modern music stuff that is usually so plastic these days. If you are a big fan of Britpop music and you listen to quite a lot of Indie music, this song is for you.
To remind you, The Lightning Seeds are not Christians but they have written some amazing songs that have rejected the trends both musically and lyrically. Another Lightning Seeds song i would like to recommend is ''God Help Them'' and it is one of my favorite songs by The Lightning Seeds.
You can check it out on www.youtube.com.
Please do not get to over consumed with what is selling in the charts and quit falling for the manufactured trends of the modern music scene. There is a lot more amazing music than you think there is.
I would also like to recommend another amazing band that i can relate to and they are a Pop/Soul and Gospel Band ''The Christians''. They have covered ''Harvest For The World''.

I am definitely going to review another Britpop song and this time it is by the band whose lead singer is none other than Jarvis Cocker. The song is called Help The Aged and it was released in 1998.
Help The Aged is one of my favorite singles that was released by Pulp and it is an amazing song and the lyrics are quite thought provoking.
Help The Aged is a little bit of a challenging song because it reminds us that we all will eventually grow old and we really need to invest in the lives of other people who are coming of age.
We need to be giving them hope and comfort and give them a brighter future.
Yes it is true that we need to be investing in the younger generations because they will one day grow old and we need to be building them a brighter future because time is running out.
My hope for this whole blog is to have a positive influence on this generation and invest in their dreams. And also to invest in the creativity of new and upcoming band that are hoping to blaze a trail for the positive future of music. The main reason for this blog is to help people to know Jesus Christ as a personal saviour. Come on Church of God, we need to be raising up this generation because this modern generation is in a whole lot of trouble and is sinking like the Titanic.
Help The Aged is ever such a fantastic song and Jarvis Cockers vocals is very strong and souring.
When I was at the Britpop, Mod and Ska gig at London Calling, the covers band Sound Effects performed a classic Pulp song ''Disco 2000'' and it was brilliant.
I pray that the Britpop scene will rise up again like a phoenix from the ashes and that there will be some new bands that will write some amazing and creative song that will further God's kingdom and bring hope to this hopeless nation.
May God bless you now and forevermore.
If you are a fan of Britpop music. I would like to recommend this amazing Alternative Rock Band that is quite similar to 90's Britpop.

May God bless you now and forevermore.
If you are a fan of Britpop music. I would like to recommend this amazing Alternative Rock Band that is quite similar to 90's Britpop.
All Star United. The lead singer of All Star United is Ian Eskelin.
Super Furry Animals: Rings Around The World.
24.9.14 |
Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
Music Style: Electronic Indie/Pop, Folk.
Year Of Release: 2001.
Full Length Album: 13 tracks.
Now i am going to do a review of the Super Furry Animals album Rings Around The World and this is a fun and mindblowingly adventurous album full of futuristic electronic Indie Pop music with some elements of Folk and amusement arcade fuelled Techno. The Super Furry Animals are one of the most creative bands in the music scene and they have taken a lot of risks in creating music that is original and mega exciting and virtually futuristic. That is the reason why i like this band so much since they are so exciting. Super Furry Animals take creativity to the next level and they pushed the boat out a bit. The Singles are ''(Drawing) Rings Around The World, ''Juxtapozed With U''
and ''It's Not The End Of The World''. I believe this is the sort of album that will fire up the tenacious and out of the box creativity of some new and upcoming artists that are looking for some musical inspirations. Rings Around The World is such a adventureous rollercoster of fun and excitement and i believe you will enjoy this album if you are getting so tired and bored with the stagnant and manufactured chart music scene. To be quite honest, quite a lot of modern Pop artists have become so fabricated and it seems to me that they are being treated like toys and playthings and it is beyond a joke. I personally cannot stand the modern industry and the media is brainwashing so many people and putting so many youngsters in a box. I pray that the media would stop treating people like puppets on a string because this life should not be treated like a circus show.
The reason for this album review is to help some new and upcoming bands to be more creative and to be willing to take some creative risks and reject the modern music trends.
If you are a Jesus Follower and you are interested in forming a Band that wants to make awesome and mindblowing music that advances God's kingdom and blazes a trail for new generational Bands and Artists that are willing to take creative arts to a whole new level, take some time out to get some musical inspiration from some albums that are excellent in creativity and that helps you to hone your creativity. I am reviewing this album to let you all know that i cannot stand the fact that music is being watered down by the modern music industry and that we really need a lot more creative artists that are adventurous and are not playing it safe. There is still some awesome music about thankfully and i would also like to pray for new and upcoming British artists that are willing to redeem the Britpop scene and take it back for God's glory. Come on trailblazers, we have got work to do while we are still here. I pray that the heavenly kingdom explosion will invade this colourless globe and restore life, light and creativity in this world that is so grey to the core.

Secular Music Reviews
Music Style, Indie/Pop.
Single.
On the album, Guerilla which was released in 1999.
I am going to review another song and this time it is by a Welsh group called Super Furry Animals.
They are one of my favorites Bands from Wales and the lead singer is Gruff Rhys who also did some solo recordings. Super Furry Animals are one of the most innovative and exciting bands you will ever hear and that is why i enjoy their music so much. The Super Furry Animals mix in elements of Techno with some electronics and video gaming sound effects and they are quite futuristic.
The song Do Or Die is on their third full length album Guerilla which is one of the most futuristic albums that has quite a lot of virtual reality electronics that go well with computer gaming.
Video gaming is one of my hobbies and i also watch some video games on youtube as well. recently, i was watching games like Megaman, Pulseman, , Sonic Heroes, Zool and some others as well.
I also like arcade games like Bucky O Hare (Arcade Version), Knuckles Chaotix, Ninja Baseball Batman, and other games like Super Mario Bros, Sonic The Hedgehog, Pacman, Donkey Kong and Kirby. When I was a teenager, i used to play a few Final Fantasy games and some other games as well.
Do Or Die is a very exciting and uplifting song about venturing out and taking risks since Super Furry Animals are so adventurous and creative in their songwriting. They have taken some creative risks on their album and they have written some adventurous song that could power a video game and an amusement arcade.
If you are reading this review and you are hoping to become an artist and you would like to be in a band that uses the talents that God has given you to bring hope to peoples lives and advance God kingdom, can i encourage you to have a go at listening to some bands and albums that will help you to hone your creative skills in songwriting and music making. I believe God is going to raise up a new generation of super creativity that takes some adventurous creative risks and rises above stagnation and sameyness.
I would like to recommend some diverse set of albums that will help you venture out in your creativity.

I am going to go in a totally different direction in this blog review and I have decided to review a Live Covers Band. From now on, i am not going to restrict this blog to just Christian Bands and my hope for this review is that it will reach a broader audience. Different people have different musical tastes so we really need to overcome our stereotypical attitudes towards music.
Sound Effects came to peform a gig at London Calling in Rugby, Warwickshire on Friday 19th September at night time and they performed some Britpop and Ska songs and it was absolutely brilliant. They performed songs by Oasis, The Cure, The Jam, Blur, Franz Ferdinand, Pulp, The Specials, The Enemy, The Housemartins, Small Faces, The Strokes, The Fratellis and James.
When I was a child, I was brought up on Paul Weller, The Jam, Blur, Oasis, Madness, The Specials and some others as well. I am also well into Ocean Colour Scene, The Lightning Seeds, Cast, Dodgy, Kaiser Chiefs, The Coral, Inspiral Carpets and The Farm since i'm a big fan of Britpop Music. My interest in Britpop and Ska music has been downloaded into my musical DNA for quite a long time and i believe it will still continue.
The very reason i went to the Britpop and Ska gig at London Calling is because i am a very close friend to Simon Buckingham who is a Christian and is part of the Youth For Christ outreach.
Simon Buckingham is the guitarist from Sound Effects and he is a Paul Weller fan and he is very influenced by Mod and Ska music.
My hope and prayer is that the other band members will get to know Jesus Christ as personal saviour and I am also hoping to see pubs and clubs across Britain redeemed and taken back for God.
I pray that God will rear up some new talented Bands that will redeem the Britpop scene and create some new and amazing songs that will advance God's kingdom and bring more people to the kingdom of God.

I just got into Dolly Parton this year in 2014 and this new album came out this year. I was looking in HMV's while i was in Coventry and came across this new Dolly Parton CD and i decided to buy this album. I really enjoyed it quite a lot since I started listening to Country and Bluegrass a while ago.
I didn't used to like Country and Western music but now I have changed my mind since my music taste has broadened quite a lot. I love listening to different artists of different culture since I'm a British person and I choose not to remain in a cultural box. I have decided to be a lot more diverse and more broad in my musical tastes. I am looking forwards to wearing the coat of many colours when i go to live with God in Heaven.
The new Dolly Parton album is amazing and I'm hoping to listen to this album for years to come.
The new album ''Blue Smoke'' is full of brand new songs and some new cover versions.
The spiritually driven ''Lay Your Hands On Me'', is co written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and ''Don't Think Twice'' is written by Bob Dylan. The title track is quite a fun and exciting Country song that you can travel along to. Dolly Parton stays true to her Country and Bluegrass roots on ''Banks Of The Ohio'', ''Unlikely Angel'', ''You Can't Make Old Friends'', and ''From Here To The Moon And Back''. ''Home'' is a very uplifting and positive song that will put a smile on your face for sure. There is also a bit of comedy on this album and Dolly Parton will make you giggle on the french inspired ''Lover Du Jour. On this song, Dolly refuses to give in to the mans lustful desires and she says to him, Now I am not for your amusement. I'm not a toy. You're nothin' but trouble. Oooh, you're a bad bad boy. If you are a longtime Dolly Parton fan, you are going to be impressed with ''Blue Smoke'', and she shows no sign of departing from her Country and Western roots.
The Bonus Disc is a compilation of songs she has written in the past including her well known songs ''Jolene'', ''9 To 5, ''Island In The Stream'', ''I will Always Love You'', and many many more.
May God Bless you and may this album uplift and bless you.

New Town Kings: News Stand

Labels:
Secular Music Reviews
I am going to review a song by a Band I have never heard of before and they do Ska Music. A friend that I knew at Mayday Trust introduced me to the New Town Kings and from what I've heard of them, they are brilliant. Now they are not a CCM Band to let you know but the song ''News Stand is a really good song that contains some thought provoking lyrics that encourage you not to believe the lies that are printed in the newspapers. Just because it is written in the papers doesn't mean it is true and things are not always what they seem. The tabloids are printing and selling an awful lot of gibberish and they do it to make money which is beyond a joke. Please don't believe the lies the news papers are sending you.
I am so glad I got introduced to the New Town Kings since I was brought up on Ska Music at an early age. If you are a big fan of Ska Music, please check out the OC Supertones. They are an absolutely amazing Band.
Now to let you know, Mayday Trust is reserved for people with learning difficulties and disabilities and I take part in the pop music club once a week. I have been diagnosed with Autism (Aspergus Syndrome) at a very early age and I still am affected by it. This Positive Entertainment Blog is real evidence that people with autism can be very bright and clever people and they can also be very talented. I believe God can and still uses autistic people for his own glory.
Now the Bible teaches that God uses the the things that seem foolish to this world to shame those who are wise in the world's eyes. We don't have to lean on our own strength to achieve God's purposes because we do it by God's Holy Spirit. It is God who gives us strength and God's true strength is revealed when we are in a weak situation.
May God richly bless you with his unmerited favour and I pray that this review with impact you're life in ways I may not know. All Praise goes to God alone for what he has done in my life and is still doing in this present time and in the future to come. May you all be blessed in the mighty name of God.
Another song I would like to recommend and it is by the New Town Kings, and you can listen to it on Youtube. The song is called ''Change''.

I am going to review a Jamiroquai song this time and this song ''(Don't) Give Hate A Chance'' is from this album ''Dynamite'' which came out in 2005.
This song is absolutely brilliant and it contains some thought provoking messages. There is way too much hate in this world and way too much racial prejudice and I have had enough of it. We have got to learn to settle our differences and learn to get along with people who are different from us. This world would be a very boring place if everybody was the same as each other. God is the ultimate creator and he made us for his glory and he made us all unique from each other. I am not joking, the racial prejudice and the hate have got to stop right now. I pray that God will bring all of us under his banner and that we would learn to get along with each other. This song is pure evidence that you can get some positive songs in the mainstream music world.
I hope and pray that you will enjoy this song and that it will inspire you to love each other no matter how different they are. I pray that Jay Kay will come to know Jesus as his personal saviour. May God bless you all.

I am going to do another one song review and you are going to be surprised. ''Right Place Right Time is a fantastic song and it will get you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs. Olly Murs is a very talented singer who has the knack of writing song that are upbeat and lively and this song is going to get you smiling. The reason I am reviewing this song is to let you know that not all songs you hear on Radio One is lyrically harmful and explicit. This Olly Murs song ''Right Place Right Time is quite a harmless song and the lyrics are squeaky clean. I think this is a very fun song and I pray that Olly Murs will write some positive, uplifting songs in the future. I think Olly Murs is such a fantastic artist and I pray that he will come to know Jesus Christ as personal saviour. I believe Olly Murs could come of great use to the Church because he is more than capable of writing songs that are positive and uplifting.

I am so pleased that there are some good quality albums out there, and this album is one of them.
''Vehicles And Animals'' is the 1st album from Indie Band Athlete and it is a highly creative album full of originality and sheer excellence. The songs on this album contains some futuristic computer generated sounds and it has an animated feel to it. The Title Track is quite playful and innocent and it brings the younger side to me. ''El Salvador'' is one of the singles on this album and I quite like that song. This album is just so awesome and if you like the Super Furry Animals, you will also enjoy this album. As a music listener, I used to listen to the Super Furry Animals and they are one of the most creative and exciting bands and their music is quite futuristic. The lead singer of the Super Furry Animals is Gruff Rhys and the band are from Wales.
I am quite fascinated with computer generated sound effects since I enjoy playing video games. I'm also quite fond of Amusement Parks and Arcades including the sound effects that you hear in Arcades. I love having lots of fun since I'm an animated person who loves to get excited. I love it when Bands and Artists put a lot of creative effort in their songwriting. ''Vehicles And Animals'' is such a top quality classic.

Vehicles And Animals.
I would like to let you know that there will some new albums by the likes of Family Force 5, Bellarive, Lecrae and Colton Dixon. I am ever so excited about their new albums coming out.
Church of God can I encourage you to pray that there new albums will be on sale in the mainstream record shops. These Artists cannot stay seperated from the Charts forever. Radio One and the Mainstream Charts is playing a game of pick and choose and it too overtly focused on what is selling in the charts. I am concerned that so many music listeners have become so narrow minded and I am hoping this blog will encourage people to broaden their musical tastes and hear out artists they have never heard before. I feel the mainstream music scene is deteriorating and inspiration and true artistry has been seriously lost. Come on people, stop playing the fame game and don't get too bogged down by what is in fashion. We need more diversity and I am hoping to see a complete end to stagnation.
May God bless you now and forevermore.

Radio One and the Mainstream Charts is playing a game of pick and choose and it too overtly focused on what is selling in the charts. I am concerned that so many music listeners have become so narrow minded and I am hoping this blog will encourage people to broaden their musical tastes and hear out artists they have never heard before. I feel the mainstream music scene is deteriorating and inspiration and true artistry has been seriously lost. Come on people, stop playing the fame game and don't get too bogged down by what is in fashion. We need more diversity and I am hoping to see a complete end to stagnation.
May God bless you now and forevermore.
