SC3: Traditionalists takes it to the musical realm of giants: Mancini, Bernstein and the like. And for a good reason...

lyrics

There's a petrol-casino at the top of the world, and in it there's a great roulette wheel spinning widdershins. Insider games of quantity for the big-scale molecule shufflers, the House deals out fates to a world blinded by the Orient/Occident mirage and the

SYSTEM of ANTICHRIST.

The stakes are high and the big winners are crowned le «Roi du Monde» by their amateur Cakravartin... one after the other... but everyone knows the House always wins in
