Welcome to the seventeenth and final chapter of Backdrop Generator - The Far Away Reality. This serialised concept album was completed in 2005, but was never officially released. Set in the future, the year is 2020…….
All over the real world, screens displaying the Far Away Reality start to brake up - pixel by pixel. The picture steadily turns to a distorted mess before disappearing altogether in a flash of white light. Then…… nothing….
The next day, sun shine on green hills that stretch beneath a clear blue sky. In the distance, there’s a train. On the train, there’s the Hacker. He reaches forward and flips the lid of his laptop.

He saved her. He loves her and that’s the most real thing she’s ever known. She blows him a kiss and laughs. He smiles and blows one back.
In the corner of the screen his laptop displays a news flash. Under the title ‘GHOST IN THE MACHINE’. the news reader talks of Gordax denial after apparently pleading vast sums of money to various charities. Further stories of dept being cancelled start to appear. Credit cards not working, computer systems going crazy and not shutting down. Then all T.V. transmission stops.
And that’s how the revolution started. Within months the corporate age was over and so was the Government who commissioned our creation….. President Black and the Trinity - your fore fathers - helped us to shape the world as you know it. This, is your history…..
