Thousands of narratives attempt to describe post-apocalyptic worlds, nanotechnology as part of everyday life, first contact w/ extraterrestrials, Cairo's top cafes, Smuggling of Hashish, The relationship between Pakistan and India, Witchcraft, How Solar-Powered Watercraft are changing Africa, the Nile Delta, Mediterranean Sea and beyond... "rEdlipsticK" delivers these themes in the sophisticated, authentic and measured tones of narrator Rolling Stone journalist Miles Neptune. Falling rain, supersonic planes, covert conversations, hookahs bubbling as Neptune travels the Nile River w/ Hashish Smugglers in search of missing colleague Francis Snowflake Drake and a clone of Queen Nefertiti on the run from the illegal cloning operation that created her while searching for a secret cult in the Egyptian desert led by a resurrected extraterrestrial astronaut. "all those prayers going up. Nothing. not anything... even rain coming back down. relax... drink a beer... take a valium... we will laugh at the universe.... laugh at , Marty and the free sample of Viagra...all those hopes... carefully locked away like boats in a canal waiting for the locks to open... hope to float them... Hope! ...open to the sky... Aphrodite's legs... you cannot get the thought out of your head... let the trumpets sound... Sax have a solo... Forest! Hill! Hall under Mountain thunder w/ drums of celebrations forbidden and depart at first light w/ New Gods." Analog Recording and Production Jason Brady Single Wide Records Cullowhee, NC.
