Exploring Spastic Inevitable has a wonderfuly trippy review of the album well worth a read
"From the first seconds of the record we are transported to Teotihuacan, a night of lunar eclipse. In the backstages of this surreal scene, at the top of the pyramid of the Sun, a mystical ceremony takes place, a ritual sacrifice in the red light of the terrestrial satellite. Absorbed into the dizziness of a fuzz organ, we painfully climbed the 245 steps of the edifice. Suddenly a pyre ignites to the deafening sound of guitars and drums. To invoke the spirits of the ancient, to wash the man of his tyrannical chimeras and harvest the ripe fruit of his radiant soul, we sacrifice the incarnation of human paradox, we burn"
