2) "Telescope Array"- Is an extension of Gerald Donald legendary aliases that give listeners that cold minimal drum and beautiful arps that hypnotize. Thumping bass line and …..bonus vocal interlude at the end of this interstellar track

PBX-27

1995: On the edge of one of the most expressive decades in electronic music, 
'Alien FM' gave birth to it's visionary sonic stew; A mixture of techno/electro/ambience and conception to the global ears world-wide. Then, disappeared without a trace (???). 2013: The signal has been Re-Activated....
 " Large Mechanics"   - Thunderous beats battle manic arps as the duo drop a vocal treatment on how its done, & how it is. Raw, Fast, and Massive.... Big tunage for a big return to the recording studio & dancefloors.

 " It's All About The Bangin"  - Keeping with the theme of the EP, the duo lay down a maximum big room monster intended for the last wallflower as well as the serious party-animal. Minimalistic 4x4 married to magical chords with the hot & cool vocal trade--off....Celebration Techno.

 " Large Mechanics (Modulation Dub Mix)  - Stripped & delivered proper by Detroit's own DJ K1. Straight, no chaser.
 " Alien FM Mantra (Station to Station ID)   - Not a track, but a vocal ID directly from the groups antenna/Used as a DJ tool voice over in sets.... Eerie broadcasted vocal concept and description left clear of music. A Puzzlebox recordings staple.
