Gunkanjima

The battleship island is a tiny rock on the coast of Nagasaki, which at its peak time was home to over 5000 people who mined coal under the sea. Once the place with the highest population density on earth, today the island is an abandonded and rotting memorial to human isnanity. The pictures of this unique place are immediately reminiscent of the apocalyptic Endzeit scenarios of many American and Japanese science fiction movies of the 1980s. Disenchanted heroines and heroes fighting hopeless battles against overpowering enemies in worlds that are devoid of all humanity. This album is their soundtrack...
