"Time Machines" is a 1998 studio album by English experimental group Coil,

originally released under the one-off project alias Time Machines.

The album was created under the premise of psychedelic drone pieces named after corresponding hallucinogenic drugs,

"tested and retested" during the album's studio sessions for apparent narcotic potency.
It is composed of four electronic drone pieces created with modular synthesizers,

which as hinted at in their track names are an attempt to recreate the chemically derived psychedelic and narcotic potency

of Telepathine, DOET, DMT and Psilocybin mushrooms (Telepathine and DMT being primary components of Ayahuasca).

As well as this, John Balance intended the album to cause "temporal slips" in time and space,

allowing both the artist and audience to figuratively "dissolve time".
Drew McDowall created the original demo, at first inspired by what he saw as a hypnotic state created in Tibetan music,

but his final idea with Balance and Peter Christopherson was to use filters and oscillators

on the tones of the demo to induce trancelike effects.
When "Time Machines" was first released, the group was initially very conscious

that it should not be labeled as a Coil album due to how abstract and different it was compared to previous works.
However, the group later tended towards regarding "Time Machines" a part of the Coil catalog

and this led the 2000 follow-up live album "Coil Presents Time Machines" to be released as a Coil album.
A five-disc Time Machines box set was announced in 1998, but never developed.
Also a two-disc version was announced in January 2006 as a future release but this was never expanded on either,

although an album by Peter Christopherson, called "Time Machines II", was released posthumously.
In 2018, surviving member Drew McDowall collaborated with British visual artist Florence To

 to perform an updated audio-visual version of the entire album in selected venues and festivals around the world.

Drowned God: Conspiracy Of The Ages is a 1996 science fiction adventure game

developed by Epic Multimedia Group and published by Inscape.

The game propounds the conspiracy theory that all of human history is a lie

and that the human race's development and evolution were aided by extraterrestrials.

The player attempts to uncover the truth through the course of the game by traveling to a variety of different worlds,

interacting with historical and fictional characters, and solving puzzles.
Drowned God is based on a forged manuscript written by Harry Horse in 1983,

purported to have been written by 19th-century poet Richard Henry Horne, who shares Horse's birth name.

After facing legal trouble and fines when he attempted to sell the text,

Horse shelved it until playing Myst and The 7th Guest in the mid-1990s,

whereupon he decided a first-person adventure game would be the best way to tell the manuscript's story.
William S. Burroughs was originally scheduled to narrate the game, but died just before he could begin recording.
Drowned God's haunting and atmospheric music was written and performed by the ambient UK music duo,

Tom Smyth & Will Joss, operating under the name Miasma.
