Vixen 03 by Clive Cussler
Fiction. Music. Art. Sun Belt's collaborative work of fiction is a genre-defying chronicle of a tar sands company town. Drawing from an array of invented sources such as journals, film transcripts, environmental studies and police reports, CABALCOR charts the rise and fall of a mythical boomtown that, within the span of a century, becomes a desert wasteland. The multi-layered narrative is woven together by an extraordinary blend of texts, images and a full downloadable album of Sun Belt's quietly surreal, dusty music.. CABALCOR is not, as far as this reviewer can tell, intended as a thinly veiled commentary on a real-life town or even on the oil sands. Rather, it ruminates on the larger issues of extraction, migration, labour and 'desertification' in all its senses.--The Globe and Mail
Sun Belt have done a remarkable job developing a fictional location that has a distinct atmosphere and local character; the album is part of a multi-media release in combination with a book, CALBACOR: AN EXTRACTED HISTORY, which features fictional sources such as journals, film transcripts, environmental studies and police reports that chart the region's descent into a wasteland.--Exclaim
. the subject is incredibly timely, in terms of activism, as Sun Belt's project examines the ramifications of tar sands just as Greenpeace recently published a statement demanding the Canadian government stop such acts and 'end the industrialization of a vast area of Indigenous territories, forests and wetlands in northern Alberta' and thousands of activists in Canada continue to protest the expansion of numerous pipelines.--rabble.ca
