Back in the late 80s / early 90s a collective of progressive musicians in the north of England pioneered a new sound under various names, one of which being The Shining Net. Inspired by the post-punk artistry of labels like Factory Records, 4AD and ECM, the band recorded 3 albums - The Shining Net, Listen and Dream Into Being for Mandala Records.

Selective tracks from these recordings as well as stories from their time together will be released exclusively through Soundcloud in the coming months.

Here is one of my poems

Rainy Night
It was a rainy night
And the clouds wept from on high
The rain, the rain is falling
oh the rain is falling, as the fears of the past collide
Like the circles of times past confide
though we are under an angry sky
We are lovers bound together
In the shadow of the autumn weather
Holding back from sweet surrender
To love and all the  joy it brings
I feel the pain of another night without you by my side
these rain clouds will never subside
Till the strangers and the lovers
Take their refuge
In the shadow of the deluge
Washing all this heartache away
Till you return to me
Like the dawning of a brand new day
Look into your heart again
Let the feelings flow like the pouring rain
I know we can never be the same again
Though something's lost, there's something gained
Listen to the rhythms of the rain
Listen to the rhythms  of the rain
And your love can return and remain

Singer-song-diarist Elisabeth Cutler cheekily calls her style &#39;My World Music&#39;.
But it is a world of emotions every one can relate to: Heartbreak and passion,
promises and fears, discovery and loss. Intimate and honest and drawing
from folk, jazz and rock, her songs find unique ways of speaking of these
familar places through the beauty of intense, memorable imagery. It is a fresh
take on an old theme, a poetic dialogue between words and music – and
certainly a lot more than 3-chords-&amp;-the-truth.
As independent as her early inspiration Joni Mitchell, Cutler has always
focused on the thing that sets a good artist apart: Memorable and indelible
songs. &quot;A good song completes the identity of an artist,&quot; as she puts it. To
achieve this complete identity, she has learned from the best: Mitchell, the
Beatles and the Grateful Dead are spinning on her turntable at an early age,
the legendary Ralph Towner is her masterclass tutor. Later, she will spend
formative years in Nashville, collaborating with renowned colleagues and
working as a freelance songwriter.
In Nashville, she also hones her chops on the guitar. Groovy yet complex,
almost banjo-like rhythms start making an appearance, intricate harmonic
variations and &quot;unnamable, odd-shaped chords&quot;. Over the course of six
albums and numerous performances, her collection grows to include electric
guitars and pedals. They all combine into a personal galaxy of sound and
harmony which infuses psychedelic folk with sonic exploration.
After a lifetime of travelling and moving, her current, quiet Italian home is the
perfect space for writing fresh material. Here, the pieces for her seventh
album, Silence is Rising slowly took shape over a two year period. Outwardly,
its sound is cool, detailed and jazz-oriented, powered by funky world rhythms
and enriched by dreamy electronics. Underneath the surface, however, Cutler
speaks openly about her own mortality and the will to live, personal tragedies,
small miracles and the loneliness and isolation which are the unplanned
consequences of her artistic independence and outspokenness.
The themes of her songs haven&#39;t changed, they&#39;ve just come sharper into
focus. If, like Frida Kahlo, she still prefers to paint self-portraits, then maybe
this is because she&#39;s the person she knows best. Each one is different, each
one is bringing her closer to resolving the riddles of her own little world. None
of these portraits would be complete without the audience, however. So make
yourself comfortable, pour a glass of wine – and just listen.
