about

Music by Phrozenlight (Bert Hulshoff), Thought Experiment (Mike Hobson), Mac of BIOnighT
Lyrics by Mac of BIOnighT

This album (and this collaboration) stemmed from an idea by Mike Hobson. Big fan of the magnificent 60's show "The Prisoner," he suggested we create a sort of tribute to it. We later decided to use that only as a starting point, turning the album into a commentary on our modern society, where free thinking is being effectively eliminated not just by the establishment, but by the people themselves who refuse to think and wonder, thus choosing to be "consumers" instead of human beings...
