When a one-off release directly states on the cover that it involves members of the bands Add N to (X), Stereolab and Hairy Butter, one gets a pretty good sense of what it might involve. It’s not a full collaboration between the three – from Stereolab, Andy Ramsay and Tim Gane take a bow – and the title references a cult UK 1970s pseudodocumentary about projects to escape Earth due to climate change. Generally consisting of short snippets of electronic bursts, tones and rhythms, it’s an engaging stitch-up of styles, conveying a sense of weird signals from beyond.
