This album reveals the early recordings of MODUS, pioneers of Lituanian industrial rock music. The band originated in a small Marijampolė town and consisted of two persons with academic musical education, Gintas Kraptavičius and Darius Klišys. The two were assisted on stage by Marijus Sagulinas, and they were the first band in Lituania to play sampled keyboards, producing new timbres of guitars, drums and other sounds. The lyrics were in their native Lituanian language, and they performed their original electronic industrial rock at several underground events and alternative art festivals during their time as a band.
 
The band was founded in the 1980s and recorded two albums between 1994 and 1998. This release includes seven tracks from the band’s two cassette albums. These archival recordings, important in the development of the Lituanian underground scene, are being reissued in 2023 on vinyl LP in a limited edition of 100.
