Notes: The CD is 72 minutes long and as stated consists of 4 long tracks of minimal electronic drones.
The first 3000 CDs do not have a booklet but contain 6 brightly coloured stickers with graphics on them. The stickers are 110mm square and have the track titles on a black border. All the tracks names are chemical formulae for drugs.
According to John Balance, the premise behind this release is that hallucinogens act as time machines — they can conjure up histories of yourself and/or act as predictors of the future. In any case, they can remove you from "temporal reality". These tracks on this disc are not only formulas for hallucinogens, but the tracks have been tested, retested, rejected, et cetera.
