"RULES OF THE SOLAR ARMADA"
engulfed in distant bloodstreams,
red sentiment and plots,
passed down through copulation,
of an enterprise that rots.
consistency can blossom here,
provide it with belief,
we make magnetic visionaries
that ghost knights pass underneath.
sight bluefield clouds, despotic air,
assembled whilst we all stood there
constructed awe of transmute king
that ever dark, elusive thing,
crowned Vessel-Spirit; 'charge of might'
all future burdens; flesh and flight.
see concubines of painted law
have burrowed in your skull before."

HELLO - we hope you enjoy this video: This is an excerpt from the feature length film "Die Son! Die!" by Miles Perhower in association with elementary productions, starring the glorious Miss Halliwell. It is a concept concert album.. a film and an album.. it is a concert and a drama.. it is real life and fabrication. It is about the stalker and the stalked. It is the realisation of one man's madness. The music is blistering, the visuals engaging: it is the most watchable piece of art today. This is more than music and more than film. It is the post-modern Purple Rain. The Stourbridge Chronicle has already described it as "the most important milestone in cinematic history"; The New York Times' art correspondent said "If it was a hat, I would wear it"; Tony Wilson's ghost is reported to have whispered, "I wish I had thought of that". Entrepreneur and pop guru Alan Neilson wrote: "Isn't it great that Wispas are back." DIE SON! DIE! will be on general release at the end of August 2009. Best wishes from Miss H
