Recorded 1988-89. Originally intended for release in January of 1990. Finally a full length album (now deleted). The perfect soundtrack for a Sci-fi movie; mostly slow and dreamy, but 3 and 5 are Kraftwerkian. According to an article in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (Nov 27th, 1990) by Kjell Häglund, the planning for this album took three years, it took 1,5 years to record it, and another year to come up with a suitable cover. Stefan Ahnhem (script writer) and Pelle Folkesson (at the time working as 'product developer' at D-Drum): 'We've been working with Klas Lunding ever since the Mekano days, and I guess this is a very important project to him emotionally. Our roots are David Sylvian, Eno, Kraftwerk, Rupert Hine. Above all we mix total seriousness and humour. If there's a sci-fi program on TV we watch it and sample some of the sounds.' - Jonas Wårstad
