Work began on this concept album on the weekend of September 9th 2001, and as such the was created under the brooding stormclouds of post-millennial tension that followed 9/11 and continued to unfold throughout the Imperial Bush Presidency. It was as if the looping images of the collapsing towers had been broadcast through some crack in reality. Everything we knew about the world had be be dismantled and reassembled, montage-like into an Orwellian paradigm of endless war and mass surveillance. The result was this apocalyptic electronica with an edge of cold war paranoia.
