Cosmonauts Pete Namlook (code name: Syn) and Jonah Sharp (code name: Spacetime Continuum) find themselves in an unknown solar system somewhere in the Orion constellation. After traipsing across kilometres of inhospitable terrain, they see what appears to be a grassy plain, and roughly in the middle of it, there is a hillock with structures atop it. They approach tentatively before unwittingly stumbling into some kind of welcoming reception. They have arrived at an alien community, and they are welcomed like family. They discover the aliens are enthusiastic and effusive musicians with an idiosyncratic style, so they decide to incorporate it into their next disc when they finally return from their journey. The result is some fine industrial electro, with elements of trance and experimental sci-fi touches; interstellar waves send the track into eerie sectors, and on each track we find ourselves landing on a new planet - occasionally a moon, on the colder, more beatless tracks. The album is neither particularly malevolent nor especially benign, it is a beatific, often overwhelming and bewildering trip to the stars, with beats to keep you grounded.
