Sublogic Elysium (2020)

Charlie was a British rock band that was formed in 1971 by singer/songwriter Terry Thomas and they released four albums in their career up to 1986. They toured extensively in America and the UK supporting amongst others Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, The Doobie Brothers, And Alice Cooper.Charlie were an ‘almost’ band, had strong critical reviews, and radio friendly hits including ‘Men without Hats’. But a combination of bad management and record company indifference, meant they never actually made the Top 100.

According to Greek mythology, Elysium is a paradisiac „island of the blissful“ in the utmost West of the orbit for those heroes who were made immortal by the Gods. Tasting the water from the fount of Lethe on lanes full of roses, all earthly troubles are fading away. On his fifth studio album, the Icelandic producer Jonas Thor Gudmundsson takes us right there. Besides his Mikrolux album "Magrathea" (2003), he caused a furore by his Elektrolux long players "Midnight Drive" (2000) and "Avalon" (2003)…

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt, a government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
