This album features the "Synthesizer" era's most ambitious moment: the three-movement suite "Liverpool/London/Liverpool," utilizing soundscapes of IV drips, construction noises, and screaming.

In a compressed format, the subtle panning of these disturbing sounds can collapse into a single indistinguishable noise, losing the spatial horror intended by the band.
