Thank you, Ennio. This was the cheap compilation that I played relentlessly for years. It doesn’t even begin to represent the depth and breadth of your stunning body of work but it blew this young mind and dared it to dream. Godspeed, sir.
My depression would lift over the years and I can look back now and be thankful that I came through this time and that these artists supported us/me/the film..I was a mess back then & depression fights tooth and nail to keep you that way.
As Merry a Christmas as is possible to us all! Remembering those we have lost along the way, I wish us all a much better 2021. Stay strong & stay safe in the face of the battles still ahead of us. Thank you all for the support this year & always ❤️Clint LOVE NOW MORE THAN EVER XX

Grief, loss, pain, are by no means unique to any individual, no one is spared.
And while the experience is universal, it’s also the most lonely place.

And there we have it. Thanks for watching, thanks for joining in. Moon is one of my favorite movies that I scored, and one that I’m proud to have been a part of. Thanks everyone. Stay safe and sane.❤️

Saddened to hear of Nic Roeg passing. My favourite director of all. His films are so inspiring to me. Non-linear, time jumps, haunting visuals. Like Ballard, Roegs works challenge. A quality I love. Walkabout is my favourite, with its amazing John Barry score. Rest well, sir.
I rarely write to picture anymore, I prefer to get the vibe from the script, the rough cut, then go off and riff..then arrange to picture..its like another version of Burroughs cut up technique or Hemmingways ‘write drunk, edit sober’ approach😀
“Nutmeg has mind-altering effects if ingested in large doses. The buzz can last 1 to 2 days and can be hallucinogenic, much like LSD.”
Don’t try this at home folks! Apparently brings intestinal ‘distress’ too. Yep! That sounds like me!😀
Last summer, we did a live score to picture screening of Moon at the Barbican in London. It was in celebration of ten years of Moon. I hope we can do things like that again in the future.
For you lucky UK-based groovers Sunday Night on BBC2 10.30pm is the time to catch Ben Wheatleys latest film ‘Happy New Year, Colin Burstead’.

Bought my first copy in 1977! NME, the long gone Sounds, and John Peel were what got me through school. They were the education I was looking for.
Honoured to have made the front cover a few times! And met many people I know to this day through the NME.

said ‘Before you play two notes, learn how to play one note, y’know. And that, it’s as simple as that really. And don’t play one note unless you’ve got a reason to play it’ 👍

Why do politicians believe they are above us and beyond reproach? The intimidation tactic of photographing the reporter as if he’ll be reporting back to the Stasi is the clearest example of where 2019 politics is at. What a fucking creep.

again. If you’re able to support artists and labels today is a great time to do it. The worlds getting tougher by the second it seems so if you can, thank you it’s greatly appreciated.
We started Can U Dig It? and Wise Up Sucker with Andy and David from The Beat/Fine Young Cannibals, then finished them with Flood.

Making music should always put a smile on your face. Yeah, it’s stressful at times but come on! We’re making music! How bad can it be! The answer is ‘Not bad at all! Not bad at all’😍

My life encapsulated!😂
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉💥🌈💫🥂🍾💊🎈✨⚡️
I'm happy that my music helped you in whatever way it could. Having suffered heartache and loss, it warms my heart that I could help someone, in however a small way, through such tough times. Much strength to you, my friend. Stay strong.
