Album opener, 'Back to Step 1', serves as a captivating entry point into this universe, setting off on an intergalactic journey aboard a distant spaceship, drifting through the eerie expanse of forgotten dreams and unraveling a fevered, space-time delirium that pushes the limits of sound design. The track begins with celestial reverberations and lo-fi textures, evoking the hum of arcade games - a sonic detritus that mirrors the afterglow of a disintegrating future...As the track progresses, it plunges into the depths of intricately crafted trip-hop rhythms. Hypnotic, laser-like oscillations slice through the composition, while fragmented vocal snippets and ghostly textures coalesce into a tense, otherworldly soundscape that lingers like an elusive dream, long after the final reverberations dissipate into the void.
