In the political system we use in this day and age there are three classes; The upper class, the middle class, and the lower class, all divided by income. In the year 3040 the middle class is gone, leaving only the options of having a high income or a low income, and nothing in between.

In a press release Del detailed the concept behind the Event II album.

This time, the album has a specific story. The Deltron world has gone too far with technology. Everything’s destroyed, and you just see the remnants of our technology. The streets are run by criminals, the police are outnumbered and outgunned, and we’re like pirates, running rogue, doing what we do to survive. That’s the scene of it.

The Assmann 640 is the primary dictation machine model that the Germany company Assmann GmbH used to manufacture for recording voice. Nowadays you’d only encounter these devices at computer history museums. In other words, the final track of the album is a message recorded on an antique that’s over a millennium past its obsolescence. You get this image of a deserted machine struggling to convey the final words recorded on it, yet those words don’t express any sort of death or finality. In fact, the voice explains that humanity will bounce back. It always does.

“3030” is the first actual track on the Deltron 3030 album and introduces the mythical duo in a similar manner as is done here.

Yo it’s three thousand thirty
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator

The first Deltron 3030 album, as the album title, artist name, and title track imply, takes place in the year 3030, 10 years before (Stardate) 3040.

The magical duo, of course, are rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien and producer Dan the Automator who together make up Deltron 3030 with DJ Kid Koala.

A-L-C, of course, is short for The Alchemist, the producer of “The Far Left.”
