about

As with most honest music, this is an album about life.
More than taking a village to raise someone, we become not just the sum of our experiences, but the outcomes of our reactions to them.
In our expanding and shrinking world, the speed and number of interactions with people is increasing exponentially.
While some would say that you need to remove toxic people from your life, what if you can learn from them? - how to achieve without succumbing to their harmful ways, how to repair yourself after being damaged by them, what a genuine friendship looks like?
Alongside the overcoming of negatives, the joy and fulfilment to be had from recognising and embracing the positives is explored. Banal, repetitive moments become cherished shared histories with the right attitude and company.
Focusing on the ways that nine people can fit seamlessly together, other than all the angles that could clash, what to give, what to take, when to accept, when to refuse. The ongoing learning process of living becomes ever richer if you explore the edges of yourself and others.
There will be many people who played a part in raising you, many you wish were denied access to your life - but the wishing won’t help, the learning will.

Say The Word
by The Allergies

supported by 7 fans who also own “The Reach”

The Allergies are one of my favorite music artists, hands down! This inspired funky as can be music is so addictive, be warned. It ranges from funky soul, Northern Soul stylings, 60's styled Motown or Spector, Conscious Hip-Hop, Latin, Gospel, 70's Soul; my favorite is more like my favorite tracks, (plural): Every Trick in the Book & Get Yourself some, not a dud track. Honestly, you won't be disappointed.**DJs & Audiophiles comes on double Orange pressing at 45 RPM for club. Music Junkie 4 Life
