Welcome to the seventh 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…….
A vibration disturbs Blister. She looks down to see Siad The Strong. He’s meditating in front of the mountain, intent on moving it with the power of his mind. Elsewhere Ballistic Bornhill launches an array of spectacular projectiles that the Intrepid Tordrill gracefully tries to avoid as he cloud-surfs across the sky….
Omega One builds another holographic molecular puzzle as Truth-less Tremble ties her in knots with poetic banter of insight and truth….
Out in the desert. Ray’s built a fifty-foot sound sculpture from glass. Its dazzlingly intricate structure produces an unending sequence of notes. Those who have watched Ray build it are overwhelmed by stillness and peace, almost hypnotised by its serenity. That serenity is shattered with an almighty explosion as Ray comes crashing through the sculpture on his chopper. His howls of excitement are all that remain as he speeds into the distance…. And so life continues in the Far Away Reality.
The program is self-perpetuating. Its inhabitants are real. Like living Superheroes, they know neither fear nor doubt. The fusion of the Three has exceeded all expectations. With their work complete, Head Spin, Borg and Galore return home, to a world a-buzz with the talk of the Far Away Reality. As time goes by, Gordax executives become increasingly agitated. Last month’s sales figures show a continued downturn in profit. What is going on?
Head Spin arouse
Closet worlds reveal
Time ensure, Black control
Travel space parade
Hand and rose release
Mid-limb male, lose device
I felt the people turning
The consequences working
Silky species, symbolic world
The Far Away Reality……
Muscled claws exchange
Dress click fluid stance
Literal pounce, mortal cast
Body bow forget
Tightly instant might
Silver cults, sitting back
The Far Away Reality
But far beyond reality
I felt the people stirring
Their desperation burning
Neurotic species, forgotten world
The far Away Reality
Waves withstand, noble souls release
Ways which stand for peace
