The best album ever of conspiracy related music.- The entire 12 tracks are dedicated to world powers forcing the individual to submit to them. With songs like "Paranoid Android" - 61/2 minutes of abduction, "Fitter Happier" - has an 1984 feel about it and "Electioneering" - a song about Politicians and the IMF. The CD was made for playing con x to.

(review by C. Radcliffe)

Sountrack for Seven. It has two pieces by Howard Shore, the same man from Silence of the Lambs, which are not that good as music but great as atmospheric sounds.

Reviews

DIM says on historical conspiracy movies:
Some of the Kurasawa films had the odd betreyal in them. Also, "the
return of martin guerre" (with Gerrald Popadom) was centred around a
'conspiracy'.
A doctor stumbles onto the fact that lots of patients slip into comas
while undergoing surgery at her hospital.
She then discovers that the comas are induced and the patients are
moved to a secret installation where their organs are removed and used
for other people. Basically black market organ sales.

"Extreme Measures"
Stars Hugh Grant and Gene Hackman. I thought it was going to be kack,
but it was actually very well made and had a damn fine story. Basic
premise was 'if you could cure cancer by killing just one person would
you?'

Literature

The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Shea, and Robert Anton Wilson
(reviewed by Iktome)
A definitive textbook for paranoid conspiracy theory in the 60's and 70's, this
book has everything; the Illuminati, the Discordian Society, Atlantis, JFK,
George Washington and Adam Weisshaupt, the Society of Assassins, Sea Monsters,
Nazis, John Dillinger, H.P.Lovecraft, mind altering drugs, black magic,
transcendental illumination, LLoigor, talking porpoises and more. The
historical facts are so delicately intertwined with the truth that it's
impossible to distinguish them (and why would you want to?) and the appendices
are invaluable conspiracy resources. (this book was the primary inspiration for
the very playable Illuminati and Illuminati: new world order card games)

Revelations by Jacque Vallee
(reviewed by Iktome)
The real thing. Vallee (author of many other excellent books on the UFO
phenomenon) discusses the possibilities for hoaxes and conspiracies revolving
around UFO phenomena. He discusses several historical cases where governments
very likely put a big one over on us and played the UFO crowd for saps. He also
discusses the potential military and espionage uses of such hoaxes, and
speculates about past conspiracies. Very enlightening.

Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco
(reviewed by Iktome)
An Italian writer and his publisher friends, as a joke, program a computer spit
out a conspiracy theory built of random phrases and facts, and to carry the
joke further begin spreading the 'truth' as laid down by Abulafia (the
computer) Only problem is that there is a vast secret society network
subscribing to the same secret doctrines, with one inconsistency; they don't
have the answer to the riddle of the holy grail, and they want it, bad. A
fantastic piece of fiction (?)

Cosmic Voyage by Courtney Brown

This book is presented as a non-fictional account of Mr Brown 'Remote Viewing' Sessions. RV is somewhat like astra projection, in this case the mind has the ability, after long training, to view any place, terrestrial or otherwise.

Brown presents a different take on the greys in this book. He believes there are two versions, one that is cold and emotionless, and the other, the same race but from the future after they have evolved more.

I personally found it to be a interesting light read. Some of if is hard to swallow, but I'll let you make that choice. I think iread this book in about a day (its that light).

Some interesting ideas that can be crossed over to ConX are possible, so i give it 3 Aegis.
