Deliciously textured, accessible dark wave electronic music from Berlin producer Robert Koch (aka Robot Koch). Many slow, spacey tracks with some fascinating beats and styles. The quote that inspired the album does a great job of describing it:
“I’ve come to think that the universe is a four-dimensional site in which nothing is changing and nothing is moving. The only thing that is moving along the time axis is our consciousness. The past is still there, the future has always been here. Every moment that has existed or will ever exist is all part of this giant hyper-moment of space-time.”

3. 3:57 Kalimba – mysterious xylophonic percussion, harsher undertones, feelings of a rainy forest, chopped, ominous female vocals
