Background
The album was recorded in March 1979 by a group of friends and collaborators coming from diverse backgrounds, including musicians, visual artists, and scientists. Interested in the possibilities of spontaneous interaction among a diverse group, they intended the album to be an exploration of the effects of technological saturation on society, particularly upon children. The music drew heavily from musique concrète and film music, both of which would continue to influence the ensemble's future works.[1]

gollark: You can in fact move between cities, in the higher-paying jobs which presumably give you more freedom.
gollark: Well, people in those cities can just not go there.
