Editorial Reviews Since inception the band has been mutating and progressing both technologically and intellectually. Now with numerous live shows and a couple of releases behind them, the duo has reached a new level of maturity and reach a level few have been able to achieve. The time is right for cut.rate.box to be recognized as a forerunner and garner the attention they deserve. This release also features a guest appearance from Victoria Lloyd (Claire Voyant and HMB) on the track "Enigma" and the North American version features new artwork that was conceived and designed by the members of cut.rate.box. Also this version features all new mixes from Stromkern and DJ Tony Estrada as well and an alternate version of "thinice" called "thinair" and the Assemblage23 remix of "Zionsank". This is truly a progression to another dimension.

Frequently woven into dataseed is g.'s own personal views and struggles with maintaining awareness of a reality in which all that we are told is true and good is determined by who can pay the most for our attention (and beliefs).
