The drum machine circle sit around a fire on a beach at dawn with their Rolands synched, with all the information in the universe glowing in the flames. When they press the 'start' button and dense, chunky hip-hop beats kick in over lush enviro-electro.
This project is the result of a desire by C.U.E. and Jason Rivera to inject more information into electronic music and to create a techno tale about aliens and interdimensional travel. It was recorded on the 50th anniversary of the historic UFO crash landing in New Mexico. The central track 'Roswell' incorporates recordings of the testimony of witnesses who were at the site. The music is also created to act as a soundtrack to the 'close encounters of the third kind' movie, as it deals with the same themes of

1. the realisation of the existence of life on other planets,
2. contact
3. entering a communication with the aliens
4. a new awareness that we are not alone....
