From this blue void, AL and AL probe the infinite and investigate the political, psycho sexual and mystical consequences of this seduction.

"if Tarkovsky made pop promos, they'd feel like AL + AL's very accomplished live-action sci-fi piece" Time Out "looks and sounds glorious, with a cast including the Lamb Of God and Britney Spears" The Guardian "a graphic vision of a future world of cybersex that is almost upon us?."
