“Ampulex compressa” sounds like what it would be like to be stationed on an orbital platform tasked with scanning the upper atmosphere with long range sensors for hostile cyborgs looking to get off world to wreak havoc in the colonies where their activities are far less circumscribed. The mechanical percussion sounds, the afterburn white noise of vehicle launch and the urgent industrial pacing speak to a moment of hot pursuit of. The distant tone is like getting a read on the objective while also being reminiscent of Meat Beat Manifesto’s “Paradise Now.” Perhaps a nod to Jack Dangers maybe more obliquely to the oscillations of Phaedra-period Tangerine Dream. The song conveys a sense of the otherworldly and menacing conveying an air of technology having grown beyond our capacity to manipulate it in the fundamentals ways we do now.
