"Basic Breakdown" is off Hallucinating, the 2000 debut album from British industrial metal outfit Apartment 26. Biff sings it and wrote it with Louis Cruden, Jon Greasley and Andy Huckvale; Greasley plays guitar, Cruden bass and Kevin Temple drums. Ulrich Wild recorded, produced and mixed it, with the band as co-producers and Michael Elvis Baskette and Ted Reiger assisting on the engineering.
P. R. Brown made the album cover, and according to Greasley the model was first meant to wear a gas mask until the idea was dropped as too common a motif at the time. Not every critic was won over: CanEHdian.com felt the band couldn't rise above the rest of the genre.
