"Clone Of The Universe" marks a new chapter for the "fuzz rock" pioneers as they mix the straight-ahead, blistering rock with the unexpected time shifts, featuring tracks like the roaring cuts "Don't Panic" and "(I've Been) Hexed," and the dynamically complex "Clone Of The Universe" and "Slower Than Light." The centerpiece of the album is "IL Mostro Atomico," an 18 minute 8 second, side-long epic featuring a special guest performance by Alex Lifeson, guitarist and songwriter of the legendary band Rush. Heavier than anything they've ever done and broken into four distinct sections, it's new ground for a band that's been pushing the boundaries of "fuzz and wah" since its formation in 1990.
