about

Plans go unrealized as summer ends.
Empty hands, empty beds, short nights seem longer.
The passage of time on a man's face, death approaches.
Even the universe is cooling. Try to hold on to the warmth.

"If you were to look at the cover of this cassette without reading the title/without any insight or context, you could be forgiven for thinking that you might be getting into some sort of Skaters-type new age hippie zone, but the title's Huxley-ism says a lot more about this tape's tone. Deliberate, plodding industrial sickness... if Thomas was more of a goof, he could've easily called this one 'Psychic Driving Miss Daisy' and still have accurately evoked the sounds herein." - FM DUST / ARCHAIC FORMATS
