So two war films in a row the 'gloriously-grime-blood-soaked and muddy Fury http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2713180/ – the inside of a tank with Brad Pitt – the sound is remarkable - wonderful but alongside the usual madness and futility of war it’s a little wearing. American Sniper http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2179136/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 - feels on reflection initially like an advert for military action - anywhere - just let me at em! – very Gung Ho with shot after shot of heads and bodies exploding under the waving American flag but I think it’s more nuanced – leaving you with many questions and lots of grey area.

Meanwhile http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/jan/29/aphex-twin-soundcloud-dump-shock-and-delight a little late but I’m busy wading through the 100 or so tracks that Aphex Twin has downloaded to soundcloud – most excellent https://soundcloud.com/user48736353001 so far vocoder disco has caught my ear?
