Science Fiction

Set to an excerpt of Don Cherry's Malkauns from his border-erasing 1975 album, Brown Rice, Shale Raga extracts corporate video toward resistance a la carbon-based capitalist sorcery, in this case EcoShale technology, which is patented by Alberta-based Red Leaf Resoures, Inc. and promises to "revolutionize" oil shale production in the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah.
