Will the world descend into nuclear war? How can it be stopped? The Fredholm Alternative may be the only solution. Actually the Fredholm Alternative is a complex piece of mathematics but it sounds so like a 1960s-film title..... Recorded live on hardware synths, with minimal post-processing. Cover...

January 23rd 2026 New Release 89 Second (to midnight) On January 27th the Doomsday Clock will be updated for 2026. In the past year it stood at 89 seconds to midnight - the nearest to midnight it has ever been. I am sure it will closer in 2026.

I have borrowed from him - he is after all a great poet while I am not. Do listen to the original - it should be...
