Gonzo

Gonzo (circus) is a bimonthly magazine that explores various contemporary subcultures, with a primary focus on music. However, it also delves into film, literature, art, cyberculture, and everything in between. Each issue of the magazine includes a Mind The Gap CD featuring an eclectic selection of the most intriguing up-to-date music at the time of publication.

Originally known as 'Gonzo Circus', this Belgian magazine underwent a name change in 2003 to become 'Gonzo (circus)'. It is important to note that Gonzo (circus) is written entirely in Dutch.

It's worth mentioning that some releases are not part of the Gonzo Circus discography due to being Staalplaat releases. However, only a portion of one edition was given away with the Gonzo Circus Magazine.

From [r=480900] to [r=2436152], all Mind The Gap releases feature an "index track" called "Track 13". This unique inclusion showcases songs by new Flemish or Dutch artists/bands that have yet to release any official material. While it serves as the final song on each CD, it may not necessarily be the 13th track.

Mary Hopkin is releasing her latest album of original songs, entitled Pieces. With ten stunning songs she continues to prove her strength as a songwriter as well as a performer. The songs are an eclectic mix of quirky pop, ballads, Celtic folk and sublime ambient, and Mary's vocals are front and centre, rich and clear. Mary writes and records with a minumum of fuss at her own studio. She lays down the vocals and instrument tracks and then works with Christian Thomas (partner of her daughter, Jessica Lee Morgan), to mix. He also adds bass guitar where required. Jessica has written the lyrics of one song and contributes guitar and ukulele. Morgan Visconti, Mary's son, adds electric guitar. All three also sing backing vocals here and there. Mary also directs the artwork on her albums, photographing, painting, or drawing as required, and Jessica assembles the graphics. Pieces follows on from Another Road, released in 2020, and Painting by Numbers, reissued in 2021, all primarily featuring Mary's own songs. Pieces is the 15th release on the label and includes previously unreleased material recorded with Mary's then-husband, Tony Visconti.
