I did an alternative review of The Great Leap by Phideaux over on Blogcritics. It was nice to get a bit of a conversation going on the comments section with some smart people. The review was also syndicated to some other websites so I feel I have done justice to Phideaux’s wonderful music. Even nicer is that I have done it for someone I regard as a friend without compromising my demand for musical and artistic integrity.

I think that is the last of my BlogCritics reviews and if you check my Submissions page you will see that A Cool Noise is going to stop reviewing soon. I intend to finish off my current review pile (plus the Revolution 74 CD in the post!) by the end of the year. I expect I will do some soppy posts around the new year looking back over the past four years. Beyond that, I don’t know. The website will continue but the future posts are likely to be just my ramblings.

I do have a few other projects in mind but also I want to be able to listen to all of the music I have been sent over the years like a normal human being and be able to say ‘brilliant’ or ’shite’ rather than analyse it further.
