Visiting Cloud (Two Translations) is a CD release featuring acoustic ensemble takes on two electro-acoustic works by Swedish-Finnish composer Marja Ahti. Each work runs around the twenty-minute mark and is performed by the Florence-based modern ensemble Blutwurst. There is a nice variation in tone/ atmosphere between the two tracks.

King Futile is the new project from Scotland-based Lea Cummings( Kylie Minoise, Official Music Team, etc), and it’s a big departure from his normal noise or retro sample & electronica sound. It's lo-fi acoustic music, with an outsider feel, and often quite tongue-in-cheek/ sharply sarcastic tone to the lyrics. So far, the project has put out three albums- Casual Misery, How To Have Fun, and Zen As Fuck. I tracked down Lea for an email interview.

Here’s a CD compilation bringing together three scores from 1950’s sci-fi movies, each of which features dialogue/ sound effects from the films, as well as their trailers. So, the release works as a schlocky audio triple bill of glamorous moon women, demented robot monsters, and an invading alien dressed in tight leather.
From 2023, Watch Me Sleep is a mix of often shouty/emotional drama and slow-burning horror. The British film regards a middle-aged/ ex alcoholic taxi driver whose mother dies. And he insists a camera is put in her coffin- to make sure she is truly dead, as he was treated badly/ possible ritual abused by her. Here from Wild Eye Releasing is a recent DVD release of the film.

Cliff Twemlow On Severin
One of last year’s real big surprises in the world of Blu-ray box sets was Bloody Legend: The Complete Twemlow Collection, as it was a wholly entertaining, fascinating, and at times heart-warming set. The Severin released boxset brought together the work of one of the UK’s unlikeliest movie moguls- Cliff Twemlow, a Mancunian bouncer/ body builder, who went on to write/star in/produce a series of low-budget/ largely SOV films in the early 80s to early 90s- these moved between action, thriller, sci-fi, and horror. His most notable/notorious film was 1983’s G.B.H., which landed on the video nasty list, though he was connected to other ten feature films, many of which got their first real full/proper release on the boxset. Opening up the set was the excellent 2023 documentary Mancunian Man: The Legendary Life of Cliff Twemlow, which really pulls you into the set. I caught up with Severn’s David Gregory and Jake West, director of Mancunian Man, to discuss the boxset and all things cliff.
The Fall
MES( Mark E Smith- The Falls main creator) possessed the ability to cram phrases into impossible spaces - “I’m hunting and I’m trying to find” delivered as “hut’na tryna find”; the eight-syllable “mere pseud mag editor’s father” hastily squeezed into a manipulation of time and space, heralded by the prior line “twice each at least”, the latter naturally repeated thrice.
The Paranormal is a late 90’s SOV supernatural thriller, with light touches of action, humour & horror. It regards a paranormal team investigating an old movie house that has suddenly become haunted. As the SOV genre goes, it’s a well-produced / scoped affair, with a neat/ original plot, some clever effects, and a decent/likeable cast. Here, from Visual Vengeance, resurrectors of long-forgotten VHS fare, is a Blu-ray release of the film.
