A tangled mess of SYNB (Matt Brinkman, i.e Meerk Puffy) reworking HSDOM materials and HSDOM reworking SYNB's 'BLACK/GOLD CHIP'. Modular synthesizers, deeply processed audio, puddles of destroyed samples feature with heavy bassdrum beats, white noise washes and a gnome clapping in the abandoned freight elevator tunnel.

" ... both artists have re-worked the other's music to create a totally coherent mash of weather formations-meets- heavy industry. Enormous cranes teeter in the wind, massive radio antennae fizz in the rain, and girders crash unnoticed from massively high gantries, the overall experience being somewhat like taking mushrooms and shivering at the great North Walean Neolithic temple of Tal-y-Fan just at the spot where the National Electricity grid cuts right across the valley (though without the threat of death that such an act would entail)."
— Julian Cope
"... the second second author takes control of the tools, revising a 12 minutes stretch of wayward phases, alien detunings, and buzzing electronics: if I were to guess, this is HSDOM at work, recalling the bizarre terrains of his previous 'VOMC' full-length - like a Total Recall terminal of alien interaction, with intercoms alighting in all corners, squeaks and chatter of conversation, and steady mechanism of movement all around. For want of descriptors not befitting a UFO landing, I will jump ahead to suggest that each track follows through with increasingly engaging (re)constructions, quickened by diminishing durations, and prone to growing segments of definitely danceable bust-outs; added are new permutations of voice, added drum effects, and evolving beat textures. A ripe reward follows in the final two turns with an uncharacteristically warm dub (aided by the exaggerated crackle of a dusty phonograph) of glitchy bass and chopped, albeit live percussion couched in a thin slipstream of seething fuzz, and into a clubbable heavy drum and bass throb processed through an array of effects, and fitted with bells and whistles."
