Women… Continue reading

Review: Franco and The Spanish Civil War – by Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses
This book is a nice, concise look at the Spanish Civil War. I used it for revision purposes, to remind myself of some of the details of heavier tomes that I have encountered on this subject.

Review: A Farewell to Arms – by Ernest Hemingway
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’d encountered Hemingway through his ‘Death in the Afternoon’ foray into bullfighting. I have always wanted to tackle some of his pure fiction and thought I’d delve into this shortish novel, with catchy title. I expected a book on war and the… Continue reading

Review: Catch-22
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a 20th century classic novel I had to read. It is a fascinating story of the Second World War which grows ever more absurd as Yossarian proceeds on his quest to return home. The characters are fantastic, especially Milo, the entrepreneurial head of… Continue reading

Krust – Warhead (Wez G End Of Terror Remix)
This remix I did was originally for a remix competition (that unfortunately I didn’t win). The original Warhead song by Bristol’s very own Full Cycle memeber and dnb pioneer, DJ Krust, was an absolute darkside jungle classic record. It was a real pleasure working with the original stems in my studio. As I was making… Continue reading
