“Fever Dream” (2017) by Samanta Schweblin

On Thursday 15th June 2017 we cycled to Devil’s Dyke to discuss Roland's selections. 

BOOK: “Fever Dream” (2017) by Samanta Schweblin

Roland didn't want to play safe. No Sir. Risky risky risky business, is the only business he knows. Words that were bandied around included confusing, obtuse, a bit weird, WTF, Fever Tree - yes, Fever Dream - no. 


What does it all mean? 

Keith 4/10

Roland 6/10
Nigel 5/10
Hamish 7/10
Tristan 5/10
Robin 3/10
Nick 4/10


Scores on the doors from Hove's finest


MUSIC: “Back to Land” (2013) by Wooden Shjips

Psych-drone. Not sure where they go from here though. Seems like ever decreasing circles - but yeah, we dig, kinda

FILM: “Strange Signals from Outer Space!” 2017

Must have looked good as a proposal but ultimately not much there

Interesting to see how scientists and researchers try to make contact with alien life but…er..they haven’t yet so, for all the Lorimer bursts, there wasn’t much to say

The visual trickery, X files style music and cinematography, and the folksy depiction of the married couple, all suggest the programme makers had pretty thin gruel when they came to edit their footage
