MC is a my own personal blog from which I hope to spread the word of obscure, under-rated and worthwhile records to a wider audience. In a sense, this is my extended mouthpiece, of which only I edit my pontifications.

Welcome to  Monolith Cocktail music blog.

Due to my workload, I’m going to post articles and reviews as and when, rather then on a monthly issue basis.

I’m also going to use this blog as a platform to include my reviews for other outlets, including God is in the TV and Vessel. Check this page (BELOW)  to find links to all my latest contributions.
