I concur! The radio x interview is great, the explanation for the context of the album title makes me like it more and more whereas orwellian is kinda pissing me off more and more. I understand what he's getting at, that the word is thrown about by those on the left and the right with very little understanding of what it means (particularly from the right). But someone needs to tell nicky there is no state sanctioned book burning happening and i still fail to understand how anyone can take such a centre ground on the rise of fascism around the world.

Please, he prayed, now -
A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
