Mr Extraordinary

Carbon/Silicon are scheduled to spend the day filming documentary footage with none other than “Mr Nice” himself, Howard Marks.

The material will feature a brand new Carbon/Silicon track: Mr Extraordinary. Taken from the forthcoming album, The Carbon Bubble, the new track is described by the band as being “an 8 minute psychedelic epic”.

The footage is being shot as part of a major documentary on the life of Howard Marks. The band’s own film of the day will surface as a video news story soon – watch this space!

UPDATE: The documentary project now has its own web-site. Find out more at www.god-smoked.com.

“During the mid 1980s, Howard Marks had forty-three aliases, eighty-nine phone lines, and twenty five companies trading throughout the world. Bars, recording studios, offshore banks: all were money-laundering vehicles serving the core activity: dope dealing.”

“Described by the Daily Mail as ‘the most sophisticated drugs baron of all time’, Howard Marks has worked with the British Secret Service and has been connected with the Mafia, the IRA, MI6 and the CIA.”

“Howard Marks wrote a monthly column for Loaded for five years and has written features for the Observer, Daily Telegraph, Evening Standard, Time Out, GQ, and the Guardian. He continues to campaign vigorously for the legalisation of recreational drugs.”
