"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

#StarTrekTheNextGeneration and #DoctorWho in Assimilation2 by Scott and David Tipton, mini spoiler free book review

Star Trek: The Next Generation / Doctor Who: Assimilation2, Volume 1Star Trek: The Next Generation / Doctor Who: Assimilation2, Volume 1 by Scott Tipton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I like this mashup of Doctor Who meets Star Trek: The Next Generation probably a little more than is actually warranted. Still, it's great fan service and an interesting first half of the story.

The deadly cyberman, in allegiance with the horrific Borg? What could be worse. As the Doctor with companions Rory and Amy team up with the crew from TNG will they discover how these universes have collided and how to stop the Cyber-borg threat? Only time will tell...

The art work is interesting, but the style seems really blurry - I'm not sure whether this is an artistic decision to depict the unreal reality the cast find themselves in, but faces seem stretched, and colours quite dark. I'm not a comic connoisseur, but the art isn't what grabbed me here. The story and the unusual blend of series is what really took me, and I enjoyed the well written script and the colliding of worlds. I'll definitely be reading the sequel.
