When you listen to this media on your compact disc player, you'll hear all sorts of sonics, subtonics, supersonics, and ultrasonics, and in variation. A team of highly qualified researchers developed this product and have worked tirelessly for months to ensure that you will have a 4 dimensional experience time after time. All of us here send our regards and thank you for your company.

A short introduction from mixing engineer Billy Perez:

You're going to dial in "The Use" Its going to be a real treat for you. Listen to the movement in the arrangements of the thing. Wow. Its something else. You've just been blown out into sweat beads. Your body has just exploded into a human shaped sweat droplet figure and as quickly as it was there, its a puddle on the floor. Now, as water, you are able to accept the sound waves and turn them into your own tidal pattern. Now that you are a puddle of water, the sound you are being exposed to is actually making waves in your physical form. Or has it always been this way? You've jammed some micro drivers into your ear holes. Or maybe your listening on your home vibration machine. Your liquid form is crashing on the shore. You're listening to The Use, you're turning into a whirlpool. It feels wonderful."
