notes: 'My first album produced using something besides Impulse Tracker, and my official
  migration to Propellerheads Reason. The title comes from the Don DeLillo novel White
  Noise.

  Album covers by tOkKa

  Ubik to tOkKa: "I think that feeling of overwhelming input, of sensory overflow,
  is an important part of the stuff you do... I think it mirrors the mindset and experiences
  a lot of people have, and how the mind processes so many details unconsciously...
  it''s like a snapshot of somebody''s brain.."

  Ubik: .."and part of the idea of the CD as a whole is maintaining a balance between
  the organic and mechanical, between artificiality and reality, and between calm
  and frantic... and to capture that visually I think some of that visual frenzy is
  needed."

  tOkKa: ".. what i remember was Ubik mentioning to me that societies built giant
  buildings and things .. (like the ancient Romans) so that centuries later ..there
  would be ''Ruins'' and that these current societies would be remembered. K-mart
  became a slight theme in this. They were also having some some heavy financial issues
  at that time."
