Description
The sound of Bailter Space (or BailterSpace or Bailterspace) changed several times between 1987 and 2003 but certain aural and lyrical consistencies existed throughout. High volume, distortion, harmonics, rhythmic experimentation and subtle use of sampling mark the sound, while ambivalent fascination with the interplay of technology and humanity (often played out in metaphors of space travel) mark the lyrics.

Illustrative anecdotes - The video for Splat shows the band playing while the world passes around them seemingly working in reverse. To do this the band learnt how to play the song (and their instruments) backwards so that the people could act forwards - most effectively in when a man is seen re-assembling an apple with his mouth.
