"The Hazards of Time Travel" is a conceptual album which tells the story of a man who is living in a time when people wore hairstyles bigger than their own heads, when airtime on the radio was dominated by glam rock, post-punk and the synthetic sounds of electropop; a time when the most popular communication device was the landline telephone. Nothing about his life is out of the ordinary, until one day, he is transported, purely by accident, to the end of the second half of the 21st century. Alas, the future is not so bright as it would seem - people have become enslaved by computers, who are observing and manipulating all of their thoughts, wishes and emotions. And so our hero must find his place in a world full of people who seem to have forgotten what it is to be human.

Albums "The Hazards of Time Travel"(jeb īsāk, vienkārši VICE2042) ir konceptuāls stāsts par cilvēku, kurš, dzīvojot laikā, kad modē bija sakasītas frizūras, pa radio dārdēja matu metāls, postpanks un elektropopa sintētika, un populārākā komunikācijas ierīce bija vadu telefons, tīras nejaušības dēļ tiek aizrauts uz 21. gadsimta pirmās puses beigām - uz laiku, kad pār cilvēci valda tehnoloģija; laiku, kad ikviens, neatkarīgi no savas gribas, ir savienots ar datoru tīklu, kas filtrē, kontrolē un izmaina cilvēku domu procesus, emocijas un vēlmes. Un mūsu varonim neatliek nekas cits kā censties atrast savu vietu starp cilvēkiem, kuriem cilvēcība kā tāda ir pilnīgi sveša.

VICE2042 ir elektroniskās mūzikas projekts, kura ideja dzima kāda cilvēka prātā ap 2012. gada beigām. 
Mūzikas estētika visdrīzāk pietuvinās trip-hop žanram, par ko liecina hip-hopiskās bungu cilpas, balss sempli, eksperimentācija ar skanējumu un atturēšanās no „pants-piedziedājums-pants” struktūras, ļaujot mūzikai attīstoties laika gaitā. Tomēr – robežu vilkšana šajā gadījumā ir lieka: labāk, lai mūzika runā pati.
