An extraordinary achievement by award-winning Irish electronic composer Roger Doyle, in which he brings to life an imaginary world in the Tower of Babel, complete with radio stations, ghostly singers and violinists in stairwells, and all the life of a great city. Profound, funny and tenderly sad, this is music for a new world.” (Circa Art Magazine).
