Review: Fountain Society by Wes Craven (1999)

I'm a huge fan of director Wes Craven's horror movies, especially "A Nightmare On Elm Street" (1984), "The Hills Have Eyes" (1977) and the "Scream" series. But I had no idea that he had written a novel until I saw it at a charity shop and just had to buy it.

"Fountain Society" (1999) follows several characters, but my favourite is Elizabeth, a model living in Switzerland, who investigates her lover's mysterious death. Thinking Hans might still be alive, she travels to the island of Vieques where she finds him, but something has drastically changed. Is he really the same man she fell in love with? And does him being alive have anything to do with the top secret military base on the island?

I'm generally not interested in books set in the military, I find that topic boring. However, Craven manages to intrigue me, especially the parts with Elizabeth who is a civilian. The other character come with a lot of scientific terms that I know nothing about, but I get why it was needed considering the plot.

All in all, "Fountain Society" is quite entertaining and thrilling. I'm so glad I found it. I really felt for Elizabeth and wanted to see what happened to her in the end. If you happen to come across this novel, give it a go. Just keep in mind that it's more science-fiction than the kind of horror Craven is best known for.

Eurotix - Pause Music (New album)

And just like that, mine and Larry Forsberg's Eurotix album "Pause Music" is out. It's been a while now, but we are so glad to share this work with you. The album is out now on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music and so on. We would really appreciate your support.

The album includes our previous single "The Stupid Ones", written when the maniac Trump won the election the first time, plus the upcoming single "Distant Light", which is about the people stranded on the sinking Titanic. Enjoy!

Larry wrote a few words about the album:

For a little while the world seemed almost normal. And we seized the opportunity. That brief period between the pandemic and Mr. Putin's invasion of Ukraine gave Dennis and me some breathing space, a pause from the madness, and a chance to start working on a new album. Since our last proper album, "Pop", I had written twenty-four new songs to record. Twelve of those were intended for the next album, whereas the other 12 would be released as B-sides.

The first songs to be recorded – and indeed the only ones to be released – from these sessions were "The Stupid Ones" and "Tom Jones", both included on our last EP to date in October 2021.

The next EP, "Delicate Situation", was scheduled for a March 2022 release. Everything but the artwork was ready when we heard of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. And that was the end of that. It suddenly felt blasphemous to release a song about humanity "moving in the right direction". After a week or so of shock I wrote a complete new set of lyrics (more pessimistic this time), still intent on releasing the song. But before we got around to record it a bucket load of shit hit both our fans, and we had to abort the sessions.

I was still intent on completing the album once our personal matters were settled. But it was not to be. What was recorded during that brief pause was a handful of album tracks, and a handful of B-sides. That's all. But what was recorded is much too good to just be buried on hard disc drives in my studio.

So, ladies and gentlemen, here it is; every song recorded or remixed by Eurotix August 2021-January 2022. This is not the album we intended to make - but I hope you will agree that together these songs still make up a pretty good album of Pause Music."

Kim Wilde - Love Moves/Love Is/Now & Forever (Reissues)

As you probably know, I'm a huge Kim Wilde fan, so I am very happy that her underrated but fabulous nineties albums "Love Moves" (1990), "Love Is" (1992) and "Now & Forever" (1995) have been beautifully remastered and expanded with loads of rare bonus tracks, for example the previously unreleased "One Door Closes".

The box sets also include DVDs with all music videos, TV performances and behind the scenes footage. These albums mean so much to me so I'm very pleased with them.
