If aliens crash landed on Earth circa 1976, and their ship exploded and all of their alien technology was melted and they were space musicians and wanted to start an Earth band with Earth instruments, this is the album they would make. In this story aliens fall in love with the Moog and figure that thing the fuck out because they're really smart and they make it do all kinds of weird shit.
It's music somehow more mechanical and more alive, more futuristic and more
fundamental, than post-rock, krautrock and longwinded electronica
combined. Out pour jazzy beats and jazzy synths and minimalist chiming and surging electronic pulses - it's outside genre, totally strange, totally listenable, totally not-listen-to-able, occasionally demanding, and oh here comes a piano and upright bass interlude to ease us out of the laser tunnel. Yep.
More fascinating than fun.
Must-hear stuff
