Remastered by BrunoSamppa, 2015 Side one: "Phasors on Stun" (Nash the Slash, Cameron Hawkins; lyrics: Hawkins) "One O'Clock Tomorrow" (Nash the Slash, Hawkins; lyrics: Hawkins) "Hours" (Martin Deller) "Journey" (Hawkins; lyrics: Hawkins) "Dialing for Dharma" (Nash the Slash, Hawkins) Side two: "Slaughter in Robot Village" (Deller) "Aldebaran" (Nash the Slash, Deller, Hawkins; lyrics: Hawkins) "Black Noise" (Nash the Slash, Hawkins; lyrics: Hawkins) Cameron Hawkins – synthesizer, bass guitar, piano, lead vocals Martin Deller – drums, percussion, synthesizer Nash the Slash – electric violins and mandolin, glockenspiel, vocals, effects All songs with lyrics have science fiction themes. The title "Phasors On Stun" (sometimes announced as "Set Your Phasors On Stun" when performed live) is a reference to the futuristic weapons from Star Trek; the phrase does not appear in the lyrics. "One O'Clock Tomorrow" was inspired by an interview with Timothy Leary as broadcast on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder (which came on at one o'clock a.m.), on which Leary talked about his ideas on space travel; or as explained by Hawkins in an introduction to the song during a live performance (from a radio broadcast), "Old Dr. Tim thought, a couple of bags of this, and a couple of bags of that, and he'd just take off into outer space"; but again, neither the title nor Leary are referenced in the lyrics. "Journey" and "Aldebaran" (misspelled "Aldeberan" on vinyl editions) are both about a mass exodus to another planet. "Dialing for Dharma" (an instrumental) is a pun on Dialing for Dollars, a popular live daytime television program which gave away cash prizes via telephone. "Hours" and "Slaughter in Robot Village" are also instrumentals. "Black Noise" is about mutants who live in a secret underground world beneath a city, and rise up through the sewers at night.
