Systems of Social Recalibration utilizes a diverse arsenal of musical generators to achieve this, and not just the click of a mouse. There's filtered guitars galore, sentinel swashes of battered old keyboards and, yes, some laptop-ing, which means you can revel in the bleepy video game IDM assault of "s.i.d." and lose yourself in the sweeping ebb and flow that is the pulsing rock-out of the 17-minute epic cornerstone, "Level 4.2." Or simply find out what would happen in a dream jam between Aphex Twin and Tortoise on "Everything Else We Must Pass Over in Silence." For those who choose take this 48-minute audio journey, a grand reward awaits.
