What the media says:
"I just listened to the CD .. he man .. I REALLY love it!!! .. all
aspects .. the folk basic .. the songs .. the brass etc. etc. .. great!
Really one of those releases that immediately went to the *to keep
forever* section!"
Lord Litter, Radio Marabu
"Although I can't claim to have been present at the conception - some of the
songs dating back to his early youth - I do have the good fortune to have
been there for much of the pregnancy, watching and hearing as God & Man went
from rough acoustic demos to, finally, the album on sale now; it was some
journey!
When Trev told me who he was using as backup musicians - guys like Nik
Turner, Harvey Bainbridge and Ermano "Dino Ferrari" Erba my only fear was
they they might overwhelm the subtlety of the original tracks and hide the
beauty within - I shouldn't have worried. Beauty?? Subtlety??? On an album
by Judge Trev - infamous hard rockin' anti-hero survivor of the psychedelic
wars??? Surely he jests?!? No way honky, this album is really something
special. Like I said, some of the songs go back a long way - there are sea
shanty type numbers based on his fathers war experiences, hymns to taking
lsd at the seaside and any number of delicately wrought SONGS on which for
once we can appreciate just what a fine voice - and pen - Judge Trev has
been covering up with loud guitars all these years. There are plenty of
guitars here of course, and mighty fine they are too, but there is also a
maturity of vision and a depth of songwriting that shows a craftsman at
work. The nearest comparison I've come up with is the folkier side of Bevis
Frond and I swear any fan of theirs will love this, and any Judge
Trev/ICU?Hawkfan with any taste at all will lap it up too; some of these
tunes stick in your brainpan for weeks!... but hey, I'm biased, check out
some of the soundbites on this site and hear for yourself. Better still buy
the fucker, it is one hell of a debut solo for a man with a well ground axe."
