Geiger Counter : Ekranoplan

With paranoia this heavy, you can be sure they're keeping the microfilm in their fillings just in case.

Slightly swerving the topics of gurls and luv and rain in their
hearts, Geiger Counter have made a concept record about Russian ground effect craft and space satellite engineering. With the persistent colonisation of the cosmos, there's an increasing risk of being hit by fragments of space debris, and certainly, something has impacted on the Geiger Counter cranium.

Given the zero-gravity trawl of 'Caspian Sea Monster', or the
way the looming 'Spasatel' smart-bombs the bass, however, it's just as likely to be a bolt from Slint in their final orbit of the earth as it is to be anything they could sell for secrets. Still, with paranoia this heavy, you can be sure they're keeping the microfilm in their fillings just in case.
