Album Notes & Community Reviews
The second release from Alan Wilder's experimental side project offers a stark departure from the synthpop structures of Depeche Mode. Comprised of entirely instrumental, atmospheric tracks, it dives deeply into post-minimalism and cold, hypnotic electronic sequencing. The recording highlights Wilder's sophisticated approach to sound design and his fascination with avant-garde studio manipulation.
