Comments

Atmospheric and often-chaotic synthesizer music. Computer instruments appear and disappear with great frequency, making each track feel like a somewhat disjointed series of tunes. The already-quite-long tracks often seem about twice as long again...

Extensive use is made on "Monolith" and "Wavelength" of samples from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey to great effect. "Wavelength" sounds a wee bit like some of the tracks on The Worlds of Doctor Who, particularly the 80s incidental music (plus the baseline sounds a bit like the Doctor Who theme)...
