Apologies for the delay on this blog, but have been extremely busy - music has passed me by a little lately, but I have a couple of nice journeys ahead of me soon, where I can maximise some listening time!
In the meantime, I'm listening to the Delphic album on Spotify - I'd seen a load of hype around this, and a fair amount of media coverage! Plus, the album has been splashed over phone boxes and billboards too. Weirdly, the last album that did this so much was White Lies, a year ago, and it sold a lot of records. Is the same going to happen here?
HTTP/Spotify link for the album:
Delphic – Acolyte
Delphic – Acolyte
Although you can hear the New Order influence upon Delphic, there is a lot more to this band and album - you can at times feel a mature sensitivity to it (check out the title song, at a wonderful 8mins.51secs), as well as some wonderfully pure electronic vibes!
I'm not sure, however, whether this is on my list of albums to go out and purchase? I think it is definitely worth a few more listens to see, for sure.
I tackled a look at Delphic for a couple of reasons:
(i) because my Dad said he'd listened to the album, and recommended I give it a look - this is a man who discovered Arcade Fire before me, so I give him his dues on musical taste (plus, I owe a lot of my taste in the musical arts to him)
(ii) because I just like so many bleeding bands that start with the letter D:
Dodgy
Dire Straits
Dr Dog
Def Leppard
The Divine Comedy
The Doors
The Doves
I mean, wow!? Each of these is worth a huge mention, as part of my musical collection - I own practically everything by them all (apart from The Doors, where I have only begun to scratch the surface)!!!
Off the letter D, I heard a great song today - Change by Marc Bolan and T Rex - unfortunately not on spotify, but I will keep an eye out for it!
Right, I'm now going to start thinking about the letter E, and promise to write something a lot sooner! Hey, I'm on one of my journeys tomorrow, so might just have to hit a few keys on my iPhone - watch this space!!!

Nice post. Let's see, E... probably my favorite 'E' right now is Mark Erelli, who's got a fantastic (albeit 3 yr old) folk album. It's more for the good ole days of the (2nd) Bush Administration, but still carries. Other famous 'E's: Earth, Wind and Fire, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans. I dunno, I feel like I'm missing a ton still. Good luck,
