Sounds Like"Low synths and drones start this spooky piece, as experimental electronics add a nice touch. Real drums appear, together with fuzzy guitar sounds. This is some intense, doomy music which is half synthetic and half guitar-based but is totally out-there. If you liked some of the heavier moments of Hawkwind, you ought to like this as well. After 8 minutes the track shoots itself into space with upbeat sequences, heavy drums and heavily processed guitar. This is a Space Rock fan's dream!" - Encyclopedia of Electronic Music - Artemi Pugachov

   About That Hideous Strength
That Hideous Strength is an ongoing audio and performance project of sound artist Benjamin Tinker. Since 1999, Benjamin has used his experience as an audio engineer and his fondness for vintage synths to create sound worlds that function as an extension of his background as a visual artist and his enthusiasm for all things sonic. Assisted by a revolving door of electric and acoustic musicians, fellow non-musicians, and spoken word artists, That Hideous Strength creates an otherworldly collage of music, sounds, voice, improvisation and composition, in both live performances and studio recordings.
