Customer Review: Ground where only few real artists can tread
Don’t think for one minute that you can listen to this album once and appreciate its value. You just can’t. Seldom seen Kid, like the best paintings, like the most challenging of plays needs to be digested, thought about, and with complete pleasure listened to again, and again and again. The more you listen to this album, the closer you get to absorbing what Elbow have done here. They have created a masterpiece. They have created a complete other world in music which captures huge landscapes of northern life through technicolour rose tinted specs, mixed with the bleak concrete of our good northern cities seasoned with the exquisite sensitivity of Guy Garvey’s beautiful lyrics which lift these songs to an utterly different level. The bleak backdrop of his imagination only serves to clarify the vulnerability of human emotions to a level any other songwriter should weep to achieve. “You are the only thing in every room you are ever in” followed by “Is this love” in Starlings is wordsmithing to get down on your knees and pray to. In “One day like this” Guy Garvey gifts us lyrics that run through “If you think I wink I did” to “One day like this a year would see me right”. One day like this is a love song wrung out of the soul of every Northern man hiding his heart so it doesn’t leave him vulnerable. You see, what guy Garvey does is he captures situations, he captures essence, emotions, moments in words and gives us the chance to put ourselves where he was when he wrote them. In Seldom seen kid he gives us the opportunity to look in on ourselves and see. Weather to Fly combines hope, reach, belief, every damn good thing life should be about with the ever present fear of reality which sucks dreams away…..God, every song on this album had depth which would take forever to plumb, like a picture on your wall you never tire of going back to and finding something else in it. Anyone who reviews this album as less than 5 stars just hasn’t listened to it properly. It’s like a seed. Play it, water it with attention and reap its rewards.
Customer Review: If you can’t score 5 stars then don’t write here.
An absolute gem of an Elbow album, to lift you. Buy it and you’ll love it.

Daemon Summoner (PS2) Customer Review: Better than some budget games
Daemon Summoner is actually an average first person shooter that reminded me (very slightly) of Darkwatch. The graphics aren’t that bad and the gameplay is pretty decent too.
The controls are very basic and the first weapon you have fires stakes at a snails pace and means you have to run backwards if you at first miss an enemy.
The Victorian London streets are very well rendered, as are the London sewers (although that part of the game is slightly aggravating as each corner you turn looks the same), but the game creates decent atmosphere when at times you turn corners right into the path of a zombie.
When playing I managed to escape the sewers and then came across two vampires. Each creature is shot according to their lore, i.e. zombies have their heads blown off and vampires are shot in the chest area.
The character you play is tracing his vampiric wife in order to destroy her, but the problem with this game is that the path is not properly laid out for the player and I was left walking round the Victorian London streets trying to locate his former wife, hearing only laughter at certain points. As a result I could not progress with the game and ended up leaving it.
As far as budget games go, this is by far one of the best I have played and I do recommend it if you have a tenner to spare.
