Happy fun organic analog IDM, a little experimental, a little poppy. The disc is split into 3 parts (tracks 1-7, 8-12, and 13-19), each has a distinct sound and can be played as a continuous song. The first bit is Matmos-style future disco, almost danceable but not quite. The second is more experimental with washes of sound and static. The third part is a nice compromise, not too out there but with some fantastic bleeping.
*1. fast paced splurts
2. A more poppy track
3. Slow gargles
**4. Driving funk
5. Med tempo electronic honks
*6. Echoey space electro
7. Futuristic “Billie Jean”?
8, 9, 10. Quiet creaking and banging gradually fills out to creepy wails
11. Buzzing static
*12. Slow, creepy and drawn out
*13. Cool skipped beat video game sounds
**14. Strange tempo fluctuations fast/slow in same measure
*15. 80s style funky
*16. Med tempo, great drunken sounds 17. Slow driving beat
18. Static melody with a pounding beat
*19. Echoey splurts over stop/start
