Tobias Hazan works on Lontano by Ligeti produced in Autumn 1993 Chaotic Scales

Baby Food by Coil, performed by Danny Hyde Peter Christopherson and John Balance [Vibrant Rays Of Spiritual Psychosis]. Recorded in a storm. This track is the first to utlize the recording process known as Sidereal Sound, a continuation and advancement of the deep listening theories as demonstrated on the album "Love's Secret Domain".

Une Fenêtre De Connaissance is a fragment of interview with Ilya Prigogine in Spring 1986. Famous for his writings of Chaos, in 1955, he was awarded the Francqui Prize for Exact Sciences. For this study in irreversible thermodynamics he received the Rumford Medal in 1976 and in 1977 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

This record is dedicated to Arno Penzias, who discovered by random the fossil pale light.

As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson
