A fascinating blend of technology, automation, and the human. Ultimately of course, despite the album title, and several of the overt song titles, the human wins out through the voices, melodies; instrumentals, beats (heartbeats), noise, rhythm, tone, mood, words, emotions and message of the songs.
Music originates from human creativity. Technology has provided us with vehicles to preserve and share music, but the source of music is not mechanical -- it comes from the human spirit.
