Tomorrow's Harvest, a Call to Action?

I've turned into a massive fanboy over this album in the
last few days. This album has quite an overt message to it
that seems to totally drown out the crappy half-imagined,
paranoid cult stuff that people thought they could hear in
older BoC albums. Also I don't see the connection to
Geogaddi - I feel that this album is way, way darker and far
removed from any older work.

The track titles all clearly reference some kind of
civilisational collapse. In interviews they talk about
getting more political, and hint at concerns about
population and corrupt political-business elites that have
hijacked the directional course of civilization. Their
examples of influences include people such as the author of
the Long Emergency. We can probably add Albert Jacquard to
that list thanks to a track title. In this one they
stress that they`re not hippies - given their clear interest
in remote, secluded living and having ruled out hippies,
that suggests to me that their mindset is more survivalist.
And then here they say that it'd all be worth it
if they inspire people to change.

So, what do they hope we will do? Protest against oil
companies, environmental damage, shady globalisational trade
deals? Learn to grow our own food again? Pioneer a
sustainable future?

Or maybe I should just go and join twoism.org with all the
other basement-dwellers?

It sounds much better on headphones than through speakers.
The mix is weird and flat. It is sooo bleak and dystopian.

I always had a feeling the titles (especially the album
title) could possible reflect something related to Monsanto.

Listen to Tomorrow's Harvest and Atari Teenage Riot albums
for the ultimate underground call to arms.
