The band found a creative zenith by mixing cold electronics with complex, funk-influenced rhythms. It remains a study in atmosphere, highlighted by the single Ghosts, which avoids standard pop gloss.
Production relies on Eastern musical motifs and a clinical approach to synths. The record stands as a document of the early eighties, balancing mechanical textures with a soulful core.
