The Musical Anthology of Strange Worlds
Scientifiction
Music — Story — Wonder — Mac of BIOnighT & Miri
Two exemplary workers. A vanishing rocket. And questions nobody seems particularly interested in answering…
"Farnell and Collins had always been two exemplary workers. I don't understand what got into them," says the director of the spaceport. A coworker adds, more quietly: "Come to think of it, they've been acting a little strange lately."
Some guards saw them do something to a rocket... and the rocket suddenly disappeared. Chased by the guards, the two men mysteriously vanished too, only to return to work a few days later as if nothing had happened at all.
Interrogated by the police, neither of them seem to give the matter any importance. What did they do? And are they really who they seem to be?
"The strangest thing wasn't the missing rocket. It was the way Farnell smiled when they asked him about it, as if the question itself was somehow very, very small."

From the Creative Log
Mac says about this album:
"Especially during the 40s and 50s, there was what could be called "humorous sci-fi," a kind of storytelling where comedic twists formed the backbone of science fiction narratives.
These lighthearted but intelligent stories were often adapted into radio dramas (another great passion of mine) by shows such as X Minus One and Dimension X.
In a series of albums dedicated to classic science fiction, I couldn't leave out this kind of slightly crazy, funny story. So I came up with a plot that mixed mystery and amusement,
starting from the simple image of people running away from guards, which Miri then turned into a number of very inspiring images.
"Neural Implants" was the single from this album."
