Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended as the follow-up to their masterpiece 'Love's Secret Domain', the material on this album was extensively reworked and remixed by Peter Christopherson following the tragic death of Jhonn Balance. The tracks balance aggressive, distorted industrial techno beats with heavily glitching dark ambient textures and surreal vocal fragments. Released posthumously, it offers a fascinating, chaotic alternate reality for the legendary experimental group.
