about

Eighth (lo-fi/demo) double album, 2006
WE Are The Scene - Telemachus/The Mind Robbers
We ARE The Scene - Telemachus/The Manic Matchstick Man

'In addition i feel that the the balance between fiction and reality has changed significantly in the past decades. Increasingly their roles are reversed. we live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind - mass-merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the pre-empting of any original response to experience by the television screen....'

'In the past we have always assumed that the external world around us has represented reality, however confusing or uncertain, and that the inner world of our minds, its dreams, hopes, ambitions, represented the realm of fantasy and the imagination. These roles, it seems to me, have been reversed. the most prudent and effective method of dealing with the world around us to assume it is a complete fiction - conversely, the one small node of reality left to us is inside our own heads....'

J.G. Ballard, 1995, from his introduction to 'Crash', Vintage Classic edition
