Pete Swinton has a chat...

does Pete Swinton have a 'best' release?
the novella on which this release is based is often seen as the first existentialist work of literature.
its 9 chapters, on which each piece of the releases is based, convey the mental state of the protagonist.
this album may well be pete swinton's masterpiece.

so, after some major manufacturing setbacks due to covid, way back when, and, let's be honest, a fair bit of procrastination on our part since then, 4-4-2 music is very proud to announce that Andy Rantzen's newest slab of vinyl is now available!

a collection of lo-fi analogue/acoustic/digital scratchings, with philosophical musings intoned over the top, 'rainbow visions of the apocalypse' is something of a full stop at the end of andy's 2010s audio explorations.

available now on vinyl, cd-r or digital download. to those who preordered - we're truly sorry. your orders have now been sent. to those who didn't - get in now!!

"My idea of The Cholesterol Police works like this : similar to DUI - driving under the influence (Alcohol) The Cholesterol Police make you take a breathalizer, it reads how many units of cholesterol are in your blood. If you are over the limit they take you to a factory, like in the film Soylent Green, where you are processed and turned into food for others."
