Welcome to the fourth 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…….
The government announces the launch of their new reality TV show. The hype is enormous. ‘The Far Away Reality’ bursts onto the public’s screens and they are mesmerised. There are giant plasmas on skyscrapers and tiny tellies on earrings. Holographic TV is projected into the sky and people still rush home to watch. The public are enthralled by the weird characters. Slack jawed; they drink in the wonder.
Flash out, jumps back, new sun rising
Hold on, hope stack, backdrop driving
Old seats, new show, life luck casting
Macro, retro, energising
As we walk from this prison door - disciples of the watch
intertwining symphony
Entrancing possibilities - disciples of the watch
An ever-changing mystery
Adoring their insanity - disciples of the watch
big screens, odd scenes, jumbled meaning
Interest, in less, corporate steering
Sharp breath, new test, no more hiding
Network nightmare, hypnotising
As we look to this foreign shore - disciples of the watch
The endless flexibility
Evolving continuity - disciples of the watch
