George Lucas' 1971 feature-film debut remains one of the greatest science fiction films ever made and serves as a thematic precursor to the mythologies later explored in STAR WARS. Set in a drug-addled future dystopia, the film tells the story of android manufacturer THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) who gains a greater (and troublesome) awareness of his restrictive society following the meddlesome actions of his roommate. Donald Pleasance gives a memorable performance as fellow rebel SEN 5241 and the great Sid Haig appears briefly as a prisoner. With its sparse costumes and sets, still relevant themes, and memorably moving climax, THX 1138 is a true achievement in the tradition of mutually bleak sci-fi masterpieces such as BRAZIL, 1984, and FAHRENHEIT 451.

CONVEYOR is a Brooklyn-based music project with origins in Gainesville, FL. Brimming with lucid, homey synths layered over acoustic guitars and thick vocal harmonies, their first EP announced the band as extraterrestrial bible-thumpers drenched in love, spouting acid-soaked pop unabashed to beam with the simultaneous embrace of life/death realities backed by a polyrhythmic, pulsing backdrop. conveyormusic.com
