Hello Peter,
Many thanks indeed for sending your latest album, ‘Jupiter Diamond’. I get a lot of Bolan fans sending me their recordings, and I must admit that when I saw your letter with ‘enclosed CD’ I thought “oh no—what am I going to say about this”, as most of what I receive are, shall we say, not too professional—I think you must know what I mean!
I have played it through twice already and, for what my opinion is worth, I think it’s absolutely brilliant. From the first track ‘Electric Boogie’, through to the sublime title track, it all falls together beautifully. Nicely recorded—to me like a 2 sided vinyl album put together as one CD. I love a lot of your lyrics as well, which I feel mean a lot to you, as much as the music does.
I do hear, of course, the Bolanic influence on some of the songs (not to mention lyrically), but also in-between, I can hear your own originality too. I hope the album has been doing well for you as it deserves attention from the public and the media. Being in the Brighton vicinity, I would think that there are people there that could pick this up running.
