Flow And Change
Gonzo Multimedia 2013
It’s only a few months since I reviewed the reissue of 2009s “Talking With Strangers”, saying “expect the unexpected, then prepare yourself for something even more unexpected”. And here’s the follow up, which is a direct descendant thus nullifying the previous statement. Because it’s all very expected, folk-rock into prog-rock into goodness who knows what rock. But very good.
The missing surprise really doesn’t matter as Ms Dyble and her collaborators, including producer and co-writter Alistair Murphy, along with Matt Malley (Counting Crows), Julianne Regan (All About Eve), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson) and Mike Mooney (Spiritualized) have done a bang up job.
Don’t come here if you’re looking for flash bang wallop thrills, but if you want to take the time to reflect upon things said and unsaid in a stately, regal, yet emotional manner then this is the place for you. Granted, there are a couple of uber hippy moments that get my trigger fingy itchy, but this is the kind of thing that gave music a good name back in ye olde days. Ms Dyble is sounding better than ever, and if you’re looking for something that’s been missing from music, then this is a good place to start.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
