4. Fully illustrated 28-page booklet containing an interview with Hans Richter, film notes, biographies, credits and details on The Real Tuesday Weld.

Berlin-born Hans Richter – Dadaist, painter, film theorist and filmmaker – was for four decades one of the most influential members of the cinematic avant-garde. Richter assembled some of the century’s liveliest artists as co-creators of Dreams That Money Can Buy, his most ambitious attempt to bring the work of the European avant-garde to a wider cinema audience. Among its admirers is film director David Lynch.

Joe, a young man down on his luck, discovers he has the power to create dreams, and sets up a business selling them to others. The ‘dreams’ he gives to his clients are the creations of Max Ernst, Fernand Leger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder and Richter himself, and the result is by turns playful, hypnotic, satirical, charming and nightmarish. Dreams That Money Can Buy is a film in seven segments namely:

Desire Director, Writer – Max Ernst
The Girl with the Prefabricated Heart Director, Writer – Fernand Lr
Ruth, Roses and RevolversDirector, Writer – Man Ray
Discs Director, Writer – Marcel Duchamp
Ballet Director, Writer – Alexander Calder
Circus Director, Writer – Alexander Calder
Narcissus Director, Writer – Hans Richter

The London Book of the Dead


01. Blood Sugar Love
02. The Decline and Fall of the Clerkenwell Kid
03. Its A Wonderful Life
04. Kix
05. I Love London
06. Song for William
07. Dorothy Parker Blue
08. Ruth Roses and Revolvers
09. The Sweetest Songs
10. Last Words
11. Into The Trees
12. Bringing The Body Back Home
13. Apart



This special limited edition book of the album is a song-life-cycle, it references the Bardo Thodol / Tibetan book of the Dead’s description of the passage from the end of one existence to the beginning of another – all set against the backdrop of the imagined city. The old jazz, shellac sounds and samples of previous albums are here joined by an organic electronica.  Most songs are underpinned by a kind of joyful poignancy – even those which appear at first drenched in sadness.  And even when the going gets dark there’s an element of wryness never far from the surface – witness ‘Kix’ : a gentle send up of the Cole Porter standard ‘I Get a Kick out of You’ or the album’s gospel tinged emotional conclusion ‘Bringing the Body Back Home’ when the whole narrative turns back on itself.


Long term collaborators Clive Painter, Jacques Van Rhijn, Jed Woodhouse and Don Brosnan are joined this time by The Puppini Sisters, cult theatre star Aurelia Thierree and Guillotines’ vocalist Joe Coles. The single “Last Words’ is the featured song in upcoming US indie film “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” starring “Juno’s” Michael Serra – to read more information go here.


The book is presented in an exquisite full colour hard back book of extraordinary artwork of illustrator Catherine Anyango telling its story in a sequence of collaged tableaux together with texts by The Clerkenwell Kid and ‘I Lucifer’ author Glen Duncan.

A Werewolf’s Playlist by John Schaefer


Stephen Coates really got into this Last Werewolf project. Maybe a little too into it. Taking Glen Duncan’s novel of the same name as his inspiration, he’s created not only one of my favorite records this year but also a playlist of werewolf songs.
