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. Have we learnt nothing?

The words spoken are mostly mine but the main theme "Dulce et Decorum Est" is from the war poet - Wilfred Owen. I have borrowed from him - he is after all a great poet while I am not. Do listen to the original - it should be compulsory for everyone to read or listen to. The patriotic war is of course the great lie.

The track came about after watching the body of a young Palestinian child being buried. If watching that doesn't make you cry then nothing ever will.

The money from all purchases prior to January 27th will go to a Palestinian Charity.
