I've Come To Some Sort Of Revelation

i've come to some sort of revelation

A venn diagram with Phantom Of The Paradise (1974) on one side, and Brazil (1985) on the other. On Phantom's side: Swan stole my music and framed me, Jessica Harper in a horror flick before Suspiria (1977) and Shock Treatment (1981), diegetic musical; Winslow's cantata communicates the themes of the plot, set in "modern" New York (well, uh... 1974), has a clear main villain who represents the music industry; person versus person but equally person versus society. On Brazil's side: Has anybody seen sam lowry? Bob Hoskins playing half of a plumber duo before Super Mario Bros. (1993), just uses the "aquarela do brasil" leitmotif over and over, set "somewhere in the 20th century", doesn't have a villain, only a plethora of minor antagonists (oh and that dream robo-samurai guy); straightforward person versus society. In the middle intersection: Satire/tragic comedy, has an actor who was in Whose Line Is It Anyway UK, follows a silly man's descent into madness from fantasizing about a woman he barely met, all against the backdrop of an insane consumerist hellscape (and no, he doesn't get the girl), box office flop turned cult classic (featuring egregious executive meddling), director worked with Robert De Niro.

Klaatu - We're Off You Know 1977

Klaatu was a Canadian rock group formed in 1973. They named themselves after an ambassador, Klaatu, from an extraterrestrial confederation who visits Earth with his companion robot Gort in the film The Day the Earth Stood Still. In Canada, the band is remembered for several hits, including "California Jam" (1974), "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" (1976) and "Knee Deep in Love" (1980). Internationally, the group's pop-influenced style of progressive rock has led to them being known as the "Canadian Beatles".

In 1977, a rumour started that Klaatu's 1976 debut studio album 3:47 EST could actually be a release by a secretly reunited Beatles recording under a pseudonym. These rumours were fueled by a number of factors, including the fact that their album was released by Capitol Records (also the Beatles' label in North America), the lack of artist and producer credits or photographs in the album packaging, Klaatu's avoidance of public performances, and the fact that the group's vocal and musical style was reminiscent of the Beatles. Capitol Records tried to make as much of the rumours as possible, by issuing ambiguously worded statements that failed to make the band's identity entirely clear.

Hope is Klaatu's second studio album and their first concept album. Released in September 1977, it won a Juno Award for Best Engineered Album and a Canadian Music Critics award for Best Album that same year. The album follows the loose concept of space travelers visiting a distant planet. An alternate version of Hope was released in 2005 as part of the group's Sun Set collection of rarities. The alternate version on Sun Set includes the complete contributions of the London Symphony Orchestra, which had largely been removed from the original version. Hope was remastered and re-issued in 2012 by the band's members, and was released on the band's independent record label Klaatunes.

"We're Off You Know" received a total of 67,3% yes votes!
