Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate - Broken But Still Standing (CD)
This is London (UK)-based progressive rock band Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate’s third album, which was released in October 2017.
It follows the story of human evolution, from LUCA, the last universal common ancestor of all current life on earth, via Lucy, one of the possible precursors of our species, to conflict and eventual symbiosis with artificial intelligences. The general theme of the album is that life has progressed by forming coalitions, whether between the primitive cells that engulfed each other to become the cell and the mitochondria (the power stations of the cell), between individuals to form communities, or between different forms of life in the future. I am however not necessarily saying we should become cyborgs, this is just the story of the album.
Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate’s previous album When The Kill Code Fails was recommended by Steve Hackett (Genesis) and was Beastie’s Rock Show’s Prog Album Of The Year.
