New music... Figure Of Outward: Blue Machine on Bandcamp here

 ... with one bound I was free... and back on the blog. A few years have passed, then the damned virus, the asinine lockdowns, the possibility of emerging back into the world. Some more grey hair, wear and tear. Sense of humour more or less intact. But still here, having been busy the last few months on finishing and editing my novel ‘The Avatars of Paradise,’ moving from my Lulu platform to trying out Amazon. Some new music under my Figure of Outward moniker due any day. As to what direction the blog will go in? I started out with no real plan, just a desire to write in what was then a new medium. This mutated into a lot of music reviews and putting up mp3 tracks for download with attempts at commentaries. An eclectic mix, deliberately. My musical tastes have hopefully stayed in tune with the times, broadened and deepened perhaps when I started buying vinyl again with the intention of never buying anything I previously possessed but exploring backwards across the territories. Now I have a lot of vinyl alongside all the other media, shunning genre labels as much as possible. (There are some areas I don’t explore but I enjoy discovering stuff I never really listened to previously). Lockdowns have kept me confined to the immediate area of home and God’s Little Acre so no art galleries, gigs and travel. What comes next then will remain to be seen... a toe back in the water, where will the ripples go this time?
