For the duo's third recording, the music was generated entirely with analogue electronic equipment. The album take the form of a classic 70s style cosmic opus in two parts (each 20' 16" long). Both Alan and Scott played Chimera Synthesis bC8, Rogue Moog model 3421 #5457X and Jaycar Electronics Silicon Chip Theremin (modified by Maeyc Hewitt), while Scott also played a Korg Monotron Duo analogue ribbon synthesizer and Alan played the original single oscillator Korg Monotron analogue ribbon synthesizer.
