Revisited - Retroglide

Level 42 - Onward and Upward! Seems the 2006 Level 42 album Retroglide to which I made the artworks for with Jay - my son - when he was not as old as he is today - is all getting a bit of a makeover. Meaning? A good polishing and re packaging and will be out very soon in 2026 I believe. Sonically sound and bound to put a spring in your step! They asked us to see if we could dig up some proofs and artworks a matter of days ago - and this surely fired Jay up and brought a bit ? - a BIT! of inspiration to our door. To see some of that inspiration check out links below. Pilot Princess 2026 Jay Brooks Brookswave Retroglide Revisited + Plus BROOKSWAVE

Searching in the Dark

 Iceland Spar Icelandic Spirit Iceland Spar , the Icelandic medieval Sun Stone used by the Vikings on their ships to locate the direction of the Sun in dark, foggy and overcast skies. Hekla Hekla is an active volcano in the south of Iceland. During the Middle Ages the Icelandic Norse called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell' The artwork above represents an adventure into Hekla, Icelandic Spar and the Island of Alderney in the Channel Isles where I used to spend my early childhood years each Summer. I was being treated by my Homeopathic doctor with Hekla for a tumour at the time of the revelations that unloaded themselves as the painting above.  I no longer have the tumour. But my fascination and respect with minerals, crystals and the earth itself grows continuously.

Part Two  I saw Black Sabbath at  Birmingham Town Hall in around and about 1969 / 1970 It cost me ten shillings and sixpence . Thats not even a pound. The previous year I saw - at the Town Hall again - Led Zeppelin for the same price. I call that watching history in the making! Ozzy Osbourne Incoming!

It is ironical that to tell a story of the N O W it is best addressed as a fictional tale of a somewhere, a someday, in the future perhaps. Surely the things that the artwork and story describe are not "going on" as we speak? Are they? I mean . . . that would be too much. An overload. Well, if poisoned ...

Time of the signs . . . sign of the . . . times.

The X factor . . . or Time of the End . . .                                                                                  X marks the spot - or Egg marks the spot - 2024 Note. - The events described below started unfolding to me in June 2022.  It was in Bill Fay's song - Time to wake up now - where he sings that it is "time to feed the birds - and hope they feed you too - for you need them, more than they need you." I knew that the line in that song was true, its just that I never knew just how true true was. I love animals and decided to donate some money from sales of artworks to the local animal shelter in Monroe County, Alabama. My home area at the time. It was all fine well and good to donate to the shelter. It was great to know that the animals were to feel the benefit ...

Kings Heath - Reimagined - part three.

Still Life Jimi Hendrix - 'Winter Still Life' - 10 x 8 inches oil on board. Pink Floyd - 68 - Syd Barrett. Acrylic and pencil on paper. 12 x 5 inches approx   Alternative York Road - Kings Heath 1967 - [ or not ] Above - so, after the previous post that got me thinking about Silver Street , York Road , Alcester Rd Sth etc and how it would be if Jimi Hendrix did do an impromptu 'concert' in Kings Heath - seeing as he was at the Ritz and not playing officially there that night. Maybe he'd spill out and over into the street somewhere? Well, anyway - it made for an interesting flight of fancy for a fleeting moment or two. Those fleeting moments have been a surreal platform for my imagination thats lingered now for over 56 years or so! Time Flies! Alan G Brooks

Kings Heath - Reimagined - part two.

 True story this one.  It was 1967 and I had just been to the swimming baths. It was cold and typically English weather.  I was in Silver Street at the Fish and Chip shop. Getting some nosh to stave off the hunger that swimming had brought on. Also - fish and chips are much better after you've had a swim - and it's a bit of a ritual anyway. So, I bump into an old school friend out side the shop. He was a guitar player and getting involved in all of that. Guitars hadn't totally got me yet - but it was all around - and it was 1967 too! I wasn't prepared for the statement that unfolded next. My friend told me that Jimi Hendrix was here last week in this very road, York Rd. a few paces from where we were standing. This place had the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Pink Floyd - you name it - all flooding through its doors since 1963. All had played there and the building itself was no bigger than the average pub to squeeze everyone into. Those really were the days appare...
