Maxim June 2009 (natasha Marley) UK

If you're a lesser-known artist, promotion before your debut album release is essential. Having a track picked for a national TV advert is a fantastic way of doing so. It might be luck that Jon Allen's track 'Going Home' appeared on the Land Rover advert, but take a listen to the album and you'll find that the high-level of music making is consistent throughout, if not even better. Dead Man Suit is already seeing a growing momentum and Allen's reputation is increasing with it. This 12-track album consists of racy popfolk and blues with chiselled, grainy vocals and a few self-pitying lyrics, the quality of which makes James Blunt end up sounding like his own surname. Vocally, Allen can be compared to a whole host of singers from the ruggedness of a young Rod Stewart to more recent singer-songwriters such as James Morrison.

On Sunday 25th June, 1989, Tin Machine played at the 1000 capacity La Cigale in Paris for what was only their eighth show. The band played a cracking set comprised of tracks from their debut album, which had been released just a month previously, including covers of both John Lennon’s Working Class Hero and Bob Dylan’s Maggie’s Farm. Here, together, for the first time are all the songs chosen by David from that performance, including five previously unreleased recordings, as well as select tracks previously released as B-sides of Tin Machine singles. Live at La Cigale was mixed by Tin Machine co-producer Tim Palmer and has been specially mastered to tie in with the album’s 30th anniversary.
