about this album
The first Central Nervous Sound System release. It was made on a time span of about 6 months and the tracks were recorded on occasions when e2 and i8580 met. The tracks were done very quickly, usualy in the span of couple hours. Most of the tracks were recorded at e2's home studio but Man vs Himself was recorded at the Isolation Cube/SELF studio of i8580 also used to record MKDELTA. Must Escape Reality was recorded as a one piece with e2 and i8580 doing tweaks to their equipment realtime. Other tracks were recorded instrument by instrument and later on assembled on computer. The album features quite extensive use of hardware including circuit-bent toy keyboards used in Isä Nitro, What Would Yage Do? and Must Escape Reality. The most promiment pieces of hardware used were e2's MFB Synth II and i8580's SID-soundchip based SID*LEXAN synth. Other hardware pieces that were used less often were Zoom MRT-3, Yamaha Magicstomp, MicroKORG, Roland D-50 and Roland JP-8000. The latter three synths were used only on Man vs Himself. Sonicaly the tracks are rather varied but often follow the pattern of distorted drum beats, analog bass lines, SID-melodies and athmospheric pads from VST instruments. Isä Nitro, which borders noise and was made largely with a bizarre chain of circuit bend toy keyboards and Are You Alive?, a grating glitch-IDM piece are the biggest exceptions to this pattern.
