Full on synth barrage with a lack of any actual beats leaving a chilling ambient atmosphere like one is lost in space or about to embark on a mission in an 80s sci-fi horror thriller. Overall the synth comes off as dark and anxious with some booming 80s bass, electric crackling sounds and bright, sometimes screeching strings; it feels like it could be the backing to a spin-off of sci-fi film Beyond the Black Rainbow. Dopplereffekt do a good job creating very interesting sounds like those found in Isotropy, Pascal's Recursion and Exponential Decay, highlight tracks, but in the end it hardly feels worth it to revisit the album much as tracks bleed into one another and it drags on a bit because of that.
