On
December 7th 1998, the Terracotta Troops were set to release the EP
"Pearl Harbor / Japonica," having completed the project which challenges
the audience on all facets. However, the original cover art was banned
from release due to "political and social" messages that it may entail,
and we at empire22 were asked to change the cover art. Obviously,
since the medium of our message is art, we felt strongly compelled
to stand for what we believe. As a result of this situation, the CD
in Japan has been released with blank white covers, as a sign of protest
against unlawful censorship. We aim that this page serve the purpose
of providing free access for people interested in capturing the intended
art.
