The Features – ‘Some Kind Of Salvation’ (Serpents and Snakes)
?Some Kind Of Salvation?, is set to yet again be re-released (first released 2008, then again in July last year) to coincide with joining KOL?s label. So why should we bother with it this time round if it?s not been a success without the big name?

Yeti Lane – Yeti Lane (Sonic Cathedral) 25/01/2010
?Yeti Lane? is laid back pop but is by no means twee, and as a pop album should be, is very easy to lose yourself in it?s unpretentious, harmonious splendour. If not forever.
Artists: Yeti Lane

At 10 tracks long and just over half an hour, Unicorn is an intense hit, or an intense collection of hits, leaving you wanting more
