Music of a grim, Cold War Britain (2010-2025). Aside from the odd project, Concretism is now mothballed. I'm doing other things elsewhere. You can still buy my old stuff on Bandcamp: https://concretism.bandcamp.com/ East Anglia, UK.

And the mouth movements are really weird. It could've been a nice project had they done it the proper way, instead of making uncanny valley AI slop that everyone hates.

I've been watching some of these. It's such toe-curlingly bad slop. Just use humans for God's sake.

Years ago I was in NYC and there was a midnight screening of this in a small cinema in lower Manhattan. I was seriously considering going, until I thought about walking back alone to my hotel at around 2am, and decided against it.

Oh yeah, I've been playing this a lot recently, as although I knew about them, I'd barely heard any Aphrodite's Child.

It's a crazy album but I love it.

Also where Cretu got that 'seventh seal' speech sample for his first Enigma album.

Apparently people are surprised that a man whose only friends on the world stage are a KGB agent & a North Korean Stalinist planned to unleash a murderous secret police on his population.

Looking back, there were signs.

I'm in agreement with that Lib Dem MP, in that draft-dodging coward President Bone Spurs can very much go fuck himself.

What an insult to all NATO personnel who gave their lives in the Afghanistan conflict.

Why are we still hosting the US in their rent-free bases? Send them back.

Made some inquiries on putting on an event in a disused nuclear bunker in the west of Edinburgh. It's been used for music events before. Still very early stages, but gauging early interest if it were to go ahead?

Is the US still freeloading with their rent-free UK military bases this morning, or have they done the decent thing and fucked off?

It's clear the US has no interest in assisting the UK and Europe militarily any more. It's time to stop carrying the US.

If the EU and the UK start threatening to kick the US out of their rent-free military bases, watch the deranged orange one shut the fuck up pretty quick.

Why?

A couple of Mark Thomas reposts from me today (sorry not sorry). He was one of the influences on my 2018 album For Concrete and Country, along with Duncan Campbell.

UK should consider expelling US forces from British bases, says Zack Polanski Exclusive: Green party leader advocates leaving Nato and says Britain should wean itself off its reliance on the US

About time people were seriously talking about this. American military power is entirely dependent on foreign bases. Kick them out, we're done with them.

The EU NEEDS TO ORDER ALL US BASES CLOSED!!
Why are the Europeans not terminating the US leases of bases on their soil? Evict the US military from all EU member country bases IMMEDIATELY. Do they really think this is going to end peacefully? Do they not understand the risks?
