Tinokuknoi Arevulopapo is the new project from Lea Cummings (King Futile, Kylie Minoise, Official Music Team, etc) and Sarah Glass, who has collaborated with Lea on a few projects. The project takes its name from a character in a Philip K. Dick short story, and Irata is a single-track affair. The forty-seven-minute instrumental track shifts between droned-out moodiness, ritual alien sound-scaping, tolling ambient industrial, and beyond

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.

Zen As Fuck is release number three from the lo-fi/outsider folk project King Futile. Behind it is Lea Cummings (Kylie Minoise, Official Music Team, etc.). The album takes in eight tracks, featuring basic strummed-yet-enduring structures, with the lyrics being decidedly sweary, morosely comic, and sarcastic.
Paranormal Awakening is a moody & often seared blend of blues-tinged psych rock freakouts, off-kilter to cinematic soundtracking, and atmospheric noise. This project brings together Mitsuru Tabata (The Boredoms) and Tungu, a Ukrainian experimental electronica project.

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.
From the mid-80’s, The Protector was Jackie Chan’s second attempt at breaking into the US market. It’s a speeding bullet-paced buddy cop action movie- with some neat daredevil stunts, more than a few bloody shoot-outs, and towards its end some great martial arts action. The film regards a Hong Kong-born New York-based cop (Chan) returning to his homeland with his NYC partner to track down the kidnapped daughter of a gangster. Here from 88 Films is a deluxe four-disc set- two UHDs & two Blu- Rays- release of the film- it takes in three different cuts of the picture, two commentary tracks, a few extras, and an eighty-page book.
