AUTOM was a result of a short break after recording of Tricky Slaughter Operation (first PP cd from 1996) during which five new songs were made insufficient to make an album. Most of the songs were made around base tracks with guitars only added during the recording. Christmas Greeting card was originally a 20 piece issue intented as a giveaway for friends but somehow ended being reviewed and reissued together with AUTOM on a csep. It was a two-day overdubbing and editing session based on few guitar riffs, children's toys and drumtrack samples.

It was both recorded on TASCAM 8-track tape recorder, mixed on PII, with loads of overdubbing. Most songs on AUTOM featured more than five guitar tracks and samples, one song featuring three layers of different drum tracks.
