Reality has always been too small for human imagination. That's why we take what we can see, hear and feel, in our four dimensional time and space continuity, and add excitement and ideas, that enrich the life of pleasantries, expanding the tales that we are able to chat about. We are drawn into worlds on mental holidays and live through the lives that other people acted out, in a way of simple pictures and sounds, that trick us into feeling present. It's a difference between something non-human, that might be able to measure its surrounding, and the human that has the ability to see things beyond the what exists to the what never yet existed. It's imagination that separates the robot from the bleeding, in the way that imagination is the soul of creativity.

And artificial intelligence will only be complete with the ability of imagination, the ability to coin something like this EP, that finds us listening to the alternative appearance of Souls Of Mischief's Tajai, who's The Entity, and SUPREMEeX, who's the producer. And starting, we hear a conversation from the magnificent "Ghost In The Shell" movie, that takes us without detour into science fiction scenarios of newly created appearances and paradigm shifting problems. The first track being "Authentic Intelligence", Tajai exclaims to "assimilate dope tracks in my stereophonic complex / let them coalesce like coal compressed with rhymes 'til they shine / every line a child of mine / released into this world of savage, ravenous beats intent of having a feast / but the survival techniques I teach each keeps them out of harm's reach". While he remains within 'traditional' boasting bravado, his vocabulary is aiming at you with sophisticated weaponry, that will not be deflected by the run of the mill shields. At the same time, 'SUP is putting a water bubble stream beat behind the words, that are not alienating, without them being copycatting either though.

Another movie bit opens "Origin Of Fable", that questions the scientific accomplishments of bits and bites. We are now talked to, with an electronic philosophy, that advertises, threatens with and prophesizes a cyber revolt, that we are told to expect. The over the other piled percussion's are adding a scaredness, that's rather the listener's than the orator's. On "Contact", likeminded warriors are joining the army, as Shingo02, DJ Nazawa and Major Terror are adding their characters to the built upon a percussion, that doesn't lack hope, result. Beginning with Shingo's verse, who's talking in the tongue of mangas, 'SUP puts some smooth and fluffy layers over the drum, before Major Force's toasting is also being put over the same beat, what then eventually gets us to the next cut "DigiDestruction".

The sighting of something unknown doesn't promise saving grace, so the beginning lets us think. The political stance of this is hidden within messianic knowledgeable breaking down of the eagerness of the humans to self destruction. This names "cessation of mental and bodily functions / from sticks to stones, to axe to truncheon / to lightning bolts thrown by the gods of old / to longbows, crossbows, catapults / blood spattered on tattered clothes as the battle unfolds / morningstars leave more than scars", as the surgeon utensils and goes "instead of medicines, geneticists hatching / anthrax and AIDS, plagues made in factories / Patriot missiles, intercontinental mentally enhanced bombs / melt the flesh of somebody's moms / miles away we sit calm, carouse with sitcoms". Traumatically this is sitting us in front of facts, us being shocked by the structural cruelty, like the Fifth Element. 'SUP still keeps it calm, with only the drum showing signs of despair.

Knowledge is power, as we are confirmed on "Conceptualize", that features JayBiz. Here the smoothness is only superficial, as the breaking drum and various sound effects give this track a cinematic urgedness. The lyrics go "rarely does a brand new idea make sense" and we are further going through philosophical conclusions like this, with mind moving result. And then finally, "Fluid Motion (Conceptualize RMX)" appears, or actually doesn't, and so you gotta go look for that in quite a magical place.

However, we have just used our ears to transport the wavelengths of sound to create mental images, that go beyond the two dimensional line diagrams, we usually associate with sound curves. With the Entity speaking to us as more than a bear novelist, the science is dropped and interchanged with non in fiction, as the parables are adding meaning in the most semiotic way. The result might be entertainment, but with our imaginative ability, we will be able to decode the encoded musical and wordy realizations, as the treasures hidden in this record, that they are.
