This one might surprise anyone who peeped Auvinen and Barranco's last DOVS album, 2019's 'Silent Cities'. The era-specific 808 thud has been completely removed on this one, and the duo take their acidic 303 lines as just a starting point, building out the textures with washes of Prophet 5 and Juno ambience that suspend them somewhere in outer space.

Taking their cues from '70s kosmische gear and the kind of shut-in, DIY private press new age gear that's been clogging up the reissue bins over the last decade, they knit together brassy slo-mo synth sequences and dreamy, meditative soundscapes, suggesting a mid-point between day zero techno and Berlin school electronic experimentation that never fully materialized.
