Song Production Information[]
It's a REMIX of TRIP MACHINE by 2MB. With a monotonous repetition of sampled riffs, and ambient-influenced effects with lots of delays, it truly sublimated into a different song.
It's an abnormal world where TRIP MACHINE is a lullaby to put children to sleep.
Experience a TRIP with blurred boundaries of reality and emptiness.
