Interesting writer. I read all the Factory novels when they came out, along with his 60s works. He has a unique voice as an ex-Etonian dabbling with the criminal class of old 'Swinging' London.
I've created some new images to go with this old UR tune.

Glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback.
Tea, it only took about...three weeks (:slanted:). Lots of mucking around, picking the right samples etc. Could have done a better job but I'm quite pleased with it.
Podcast just made available - scroll down, it's the 4th one.

Pop.1280 springs to mind as another Thompson classic. I suggest that as your next choice. Nice summary of the book.
Ellroy's different, but obviously inspired by the likes of Thompson. He takes the idea of 'hardboiled' to an extreme, but is still a very interesting writer.
James M Cain...
Hi people
Here's a fresh mix of dark ambient, Film Noir samples, Jazz and modern sounds that fit the mood. Down these mean streets etc.
Features John Zorn, Henry Mancini, Cabaret Voltaire, Morricone, Kreng, Barry Adamson and others.
Great writer...your fears are unfounded, as far as I recall (read it years ago). Just finished this Horace McCoy, a great depiction of despair in search of the Hollywood dream.
