    • Is described as "a moodier, darker sound", as compared to earlier works.
    • The album was produced by bandmate Echo West
    • Tracklist includes Take Initiative, Hit Point, Fumble, Wisdom
    • The Sentinel published an excellent review of the album.
  • Band members were perfectly aware bandmember KT was a Reconstructionist didn't see that it mattered
  • Recipient of the City Star public awareness award
  • Has a strong collective love of the city
  • Encourages youth to take an active interest in public affairs
  • The day of the theft of The Receda Cube, they continued to work, even though the rest of the city was paralyzed with shock and despair
  • Between albums, the band often separates to create their own experimental sounds
    • They find when they get back together they have many more creative influences between them
  • Fans of the band caused some civil disruption, in early 2006.
    • At a surprise show around March 3, 2006 at The Click, fans almost rioted after the venue filled to capacity with many people left outside, and the police had to be called in, including the auxillary volunteer police
    • Similar discord was feared at the next live event on March 14, 2006, at Euler's Disk.
    • However, no-one could have predicted the unprecedented result: hundreds of prank calls to the police, over-whelming the authorities with calls of bomb threats, kidnapings, and so on.
    • In lieu of the 14-MAR-05 Police crisis, the band have decided to not do any more free shows, until the city's security issues can be assessed.
