A pointless split cd with the band Sunshine whose tracks start off promising but end up as a flat electronic mess. There are two ATDI tracks, 'Extracurricular' and 'Autorelocator'. The first (which has been made available on other ATDI releases) is a great standard ATDI track if there is such a thing - the second is more of an outtake, almost completely instrumental and electronic. The packaging is interesting but with the announcement of a b-sides/rarities compilation from Fearless coming out (titled 'This Station is Non-Operational' - I can't even say the title, only sing it) I may trade it in down the road.
