When the old world order governments fell, the old economic structures fell in succession. Already decades into terminal decline, the capitalist doctrine was unable to absorb the environmental and cultural externalities that the new world required; without it the final droplets of democratic-capitalism’s legitimacy evaporated. Politicians and captains of industry along with their families were arrested, tried and executed en masse for their sociopathic crimes that destroyed economies and ecosystems, clearing the way for something much darker.
In the resulting power vacuum, a fragile technocratic government shored up its legitimacy with the delegation of decision-making to various military AI. The use of AI culminated in the development of Machine, an AI to undertake all critical lawmaking and regulatory duties. Fearing its corruption by future groups of elites, laws were passed to enshrine the sovereignty of Machine to regulate the nation for posterity.
The result was termed Black Box Capitalism due to the impenetrable regulatory decisions of Machine. Industries have been outlawed and reinstated in a matter of days, markets pumped and crashed. Food prices run rampant and rolling blackouts have brought the country to a standstill. Black markets have proliferated and collapsed and yet Machine’s edicts have always remained beyond reproach.
Thirty years since Machine took the reins and things remain the same; corporate culture is still a mix of sociopathy and ennui, innovation and fraud, but the ever changing landscape means that fortunes are made and lost everyday. The gap between rich and poor is as large as it ever was, but on what side of the line one resides has never been in such flux.

The following excerpt is taken from ‘An Encyclopaedia of Asian Sci-fi, 1980-2000’ (2022), Han Publishing (Translated from Korean).
Grid Warp II: Killzone (1995) dir. Pak Nam-Gyu
The cyberpunk classic that never was.
In mid-1995 Pak signed a contract to write and direct an English language movie in Hong Kong. Pak was outwardly apathetic about his return to Asia although he confided to his uncle that he took his failure in LA personally. Pak’s new project was funded by various shell companies linked with organised crime, likely Triad gangs, along with some ex-employees of Tomas Tang's Filmark International. Bizarrely it seems that Pak convinced financiers he had previously written and directed a cult hit in America entitled ‘Grid Warp: Techno Rites’. Pak had sold his project on the premise that there was an instant audience in the burgeoning American “cyberpunk’’ culture who were familiar with the original, not to mention significant European sales. Why this transparent lie was not uncovered by the financers is unclear. It has been suggested that Filmark head, Tomas Tang, was a fan of Pak’s early work and let the lie go unchallenged to allow Pak to keep face. Others have suggested that the money men knew that sequels were highly profitable and wished to see if it made financial sense to simply skip the initial instalment.
Regardless, Grid Warp II: Killzone joined a niche group of sequels that have no preceding chapter and Pak had the green light to start work on his first full-length English language feature. One that sadly, never was.
Early shooting was plagued by crew walkouts blamed on everything from bad-faith contracts to Pak’s relentless work ethic. Cash-flow issues meant delayed wages and cut corners on set; both cast and crew were unsettled by rumours of Filmark International's financial collapse. Even with shooting complete, Pak and the financiers fought on a range of issues dragging out production for several years, not least the musical score. Initially Pak had pushed for a reunion with long-time collaborator and university friend Lee Hae-Dong. The financiers however baulked at the time and costs involved, preferring to licence existing American pop and rock music, arguing that it would broaden the appeal of the movie in America. Pak refused and considered walking out on the project entirely. Instead, at the suggestion of Tang, he reached out to composer Richard Band (Brother of Charles Band) in America. Band was unable to commit the time needed, but he put Pak in touch with a group of anonymous composers networking within the new virtual spaces of the burgeoning internet. Many of these unknown artists were fans and sent Pak multiple tracks along with messages of support and encouragement. Emboldened by the response, Pak re-edited scenes to better complement the music. With the movie wrapped, the financiers and Tang were convinced that Pak had made something special; money was found to bolster the advertising campaign and there was talk of a national distribution deal in the USA.
Then, without warning, disaster hit; the notorious 1996 Garley Building fire broke out destroying the Filmark office, killing Thomas Tang and at least forty other occupants of the building. The other significant losses were original Filmark canisters, editing equipment, promotional materials and the only known prints of Grid Warp II. Movie fans across the globe will forever be worse off for the tragic loss of Tang, his team and so much of his legacy, of which Grid Warp II was just a part.

Plot Synopsis
Taken from a press-release located in the basement of a defunct Lebanese cinema.
In 2151, the effects of a mysterious virus have pushed society to the edge. Rioting, looting and random acts of violence go unchecked. The Enforcers have abandoned the outer districts to focus their resources on protecting the Mega-Towers of the rich and powerful. When a data-heist goes horribly wrong, Graylock, an elite Netrunner, finds himself trapped in enemy Syndicate territory. Unable to return to safety via the battle-torn streets, Graylock takes to the rooftops in a bid to reunite with his scattered team. High above the burning city Greylock meets a half-dead Razorgirl smuggling data which suggests that the virus may not be all that it seems. Greylock is rapidly drawn into an ever-widening conspiracy involving corporations, the media and government that cuts to the very heart of a rotting nation.

Stylistically, the album revolves around the enchanting concepts of enigmatic temples and altars to ancient deities'. It beautifully crafts a love letter, not only to the artist's own spirit, but also to their soulmate and to their ongoing spiritual evolution.
