Martin Bramah Manchester, UK
Originally singer for The Fall, before Mark E Smith realised he didn't know how to play guitar and so swapped with him,
Martin Bramah is one of rock's great visionary presences - a master songwriter, influential musician and a unique talent.
Here he took an unusual turn, a stripped-down folk approach to songs, some of which he later remade with a full band.
A lost classic or urban folk.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.

Angus Tempus Memoir
by Blue Orchids
supported by 28 fans who also own “The Moon's Lost Light”
Yet another old band from the 80s comes out with a new record. Blue Orchids was yet another band from Manchester England's rich music scene, also known for occasionally being Nico's (from Velvet Underground of course) backing band. Seems they've resisted modernizing their sound yet still managed to be contemporary.

Another amazing Blue Orchids album. As a Canadian I fear I will never see them grace my city. 😩
