Shifty little blits of electronic percussion sputter over an ethereal blend of lightly warbling radiation, faint disembodied voices and off-kilter tunefulness;
1 displays an intriguing balance between activity and ethereality. Traces of that piece segue into a more-abstract 43-second 2nd track.
3's spooky groove threads through a glitchy beatsystem; unidentifiable spoken phrases are chopped up and stirred into the dense-then-spacious mix.
Like dance music for androids (and discerning humans), the determined rhythm of 4 pops and sweeps over obtusely perky synth riffles. With crunchy beats, 5's hypnotic robofunk stutters as crystalline strands turn and chime in a whispery dreamworld. Loosely hazy 7 is soon pelted by energized rhythmics, emitting occasional tone-blurts all the while.
A robotic rendition of "bicycle built for two" is interspersed into the short
10th track... is that HAL? It is 2001, after all. Prettily scattered pinpoints of sound flow through 11, forming a gauzey shimmer buoyed by smoothly digitized drumming.

Tracks 12 through
17 are various equally appealling remixes from the likes of ilkae, thug, frank & bill, xhale, crankshaft, and brothomstates including a strangely lilting (and more fully-realized) "bicycle built for two".
