Apt enough title, too. Disc 2 begins with R-Gent by Sun Electric , a lightly droning piece with no beat, but a rhythm of sorts is established by the watery, clunking background sounds and some occasional cymbal percussion. The beautiful, sparse Blue Calx is Aphex Twin 's contribution. A quiet metronome tick and muffled echoes accent this piece which resonates with a haunting, alien emptiness. Over a burbling, pulsing background of synthesizer effects, a robotic voice babbles on with a series of repeated phrases and snippets.
Various distortions keep things from getting too overtly repetitive.
Air Liquide 's Sun Progress is a spooky, spacey affair. Tranquility Base by Omicron continues in the spacey mode, but as the title suggests, occupies a more soothing celestial sector. Peaceful synths swirl and flutter in this beatless realm. A slight rhythm decorates the sweeping, bleeping foreground. Orbital add piano to synth to form Belfast .
