Space Dimension Controller - one of experimental electronica's most lauded individuals - has announced his first album proper, leading on from the engaging sci-fi mise-en-scene that he created through his first to 'mini albums' Temporary Thrillz and The Pathway to Tiraquon6, a story of Max Tiraquon's plight to be united back in his future, stuck in the present day after a time travelling accident sends him to the year 2009.
Reflecting parallel's between SDC's futurist world and ours, the story continues to unfold through a mesh of stiff inter-galactic beats, ambiance and unique, pitch bent melodies on the full length record. The producer and DJ - also currently touring a brand new live show - has long been hailed for his unique, experimental and musically rich take on modern electronic production. Check the video for Fluroscent Trails underneath.
Here's an extract from the story to set the scene: "2013. After four years stranded on Earth he has finally repaired the time travel capabilities of his Electropod. His goal was to return to the exact moment in the future of his fateful accident, but due to only having primitive Earth tools and technology at his disposal, the journeys destination was not as accurate as he had hoped and he ended up arriving 5 years later than anticipated. Now, Mikrosector-50 has changed. It is no longer the strictly governed dystopian planet as Mr. 8040 remembers, where music was controlled by the Tiraquon Security Council and love was deemed unnecessary. Instead people were having fun and love and music filled the streets. At first, Mr. 8040 enjoyed this change and received a huge planet-wide welcome party, but once the party was over Mr. 8040 knew that he had to find his secret lover from before the accident and try to continue what they once had in this new free planet."
