I have just read this review for an artist that I have never heard of in Hifi Pig magazine. Not quite in character for me – usually Duncan, Mr Intimate Audio, who would be doing this – but I thought I would have a listen based on the review. Very, very unique sound – slightly reminiscent of Kate Bush…..anyway I have ordered it for Mr Intimate Audio, so great review James Fleming at Hifi Pig!!
“The fight against ignorance is central to The Lonely Cry Of Space And Time. Combining the natural with the political, the scientific with the philosophical, and then soundtracking those themes with stirring, atmospheric electric guitar-strumming and haunting vocals is a deadly concoction.
Anna Coogan’s operatic Kate Bush-esque vocals spread the good word across The Lonely Cry Of Space And Time. A voice of reason in an era that conclusively proves that common sense is neither, Coogan’s words are a subversive and eloquent “fuck y’all.”
Underneath its sweet tones and stunning musicianship is a deep dissatisfaction with the status quo of today. The status quo appearing to be ignorance.
Both musical and cultural; here is a classically-trained opera singer armed to the teeth with an electric guitar, a record’s worth of great songs and sharp lyrical insight into the 21st century. If the top 40 sounded like this, we wouldn’t have Supreme Overlord Donald to worry about.”
