Albums of the Month

	VON HERTZEN BROTHERS War Is Over (Music Theories/Mascot) "...a formidable album that demands to be listened to. It’s a brave, noble, ambitious work with real depth. The songs have substance, the music is epic, the lyrics are unashamedly idealistic and the band plays with gusto and technical brilliance..." (Pete Feenstra)
	POPA CHUBBY Two Dogs (earMUSIC) "meaningful songs with subtle arrangements that perfectly balance a vintage soul influence with cutting edge contemporary rocking blues."  (Pete Feenstra)
	DOWNES BRAIDE ASSOCIATION Skyscraper Souls   (Magical Think Tank Records) "Pop, prog and rock melded together in one wonderful album. Don’t let this album become a ‘lost classic’ – enjoy it now!" (Jason Ritchie)
	STRAWBS The Ferryman's Curse (Esoteric) "In any listening we should cut this band of essentially septuagenarians some slack. They seem re-energised, especially by Bainbridge’s input, and the consistency of this album is impressive."  (David Randall)
	SUPERSONIC BLUES MACHINE Californisoul (Provogue) ".nicely nails the enduring appeal of rock-blues in Europe and the nouveau soul movement in the States...I can think of very few other contemporary albums with the personnel, the songs and the chops to realize such adventurous ambition." (Pete Feenstra)
