This texturally layered sequel was written from experiences and recollections accrued during touring and proactive traveling, which took the band all over Europe and Russia, and even as far as the outbacks of Siberia, where btw. the band fully spread their wings musically. Musically, the piece is as liquid as its predecessor and a times even more radical in its commitment to mercurial cross-pollination of genre signifiers and the channel zapping approach to arrangements.

Almost no track ends where it started. Some shift from ballad territory into a barrage of noise, others from solid Funk infused rhythms into Free-Jazz deconstructions, and vice-versa. There are also ample hints of Dub here, and head nods in the direction of Hip Hop – as well as styles that are simply impossible to describe. From a production point of view there's more space and clarity on this record and the Electronica elements, which merely served as textural components in the past, take a lead here.
