Ostensibly a government produced newsreel cautioning the
public about the Consortium of Genius, this short film was actually an
excellent introduction to the band, and was shown in front of live lectures
for the next few months. It was also entered into a couple of small
video contests, winning applause, laughter, and many confused expressions.
