Nomenil has revamped, revised and revisited its Rhinoceros 2003 hit and the result is irresistible.

LOVE POLLUTION: A TEKNO-POPERA is a post-Pop adult revolutionary fable. A voluptuous fembot and her quirky creators struggle to unite heart and mind in a pre-apocalyptic world of MINDLESS consumerism and ugliness.

LOVE POLLUTION: A TEKNO-POPERA's score is a fusion of electronica, techno, punk, opera, pop and show tunes (and then some.) Includes the addictive hits Murder of Innocence" a catchy dance TUNE, and the hauntingly beautiful ballad The Truth is Deceiving."
