Social Light Sounds Presents: Ethereal Plains Excellent and Pathetic - The EP. A six song collaboration between Boston emcee E The Real and Brooklyn producer/emcee Forth Star. The songs were all recorded in one day on New Years Eve in Forth Star's home studio in Brooklyn. These two long time friends haven't recorded together since Ethereal's 2003 solo debut The Overwhelm. E The Real is now the lead emcee for the Massachusetts based group Nite People who released their 2007 album Daily Livin, which received critical acclaim from many media outlets including Okayplayer.com ( See The Review here ).

Excellent and Pathetic - The EP is about contrasts and how they define us as individuals. Positives and negatives, good and evil, love and hate, ups and downs, peace and war, and any other contradiction you can think of.
