WAITING IN THE SKY • Nicholas Roeg’s 1976 cinematic adaptation of Water Tevis’ novel The Man Who Fell to Earth examines the tumults of human greed and despondence, resulting from a natural curiosity and sense of wonderment with which we are all familiar.

TROPICAL NOIR • Getting lost in sentences with Mr Maserati, Baxter Dury.

RECORDS • From tracks that inspire hope within ourselves, to post-punk saxophone rhythms to have you grooving through the night.
