Karl Hyde and Rick Smith transitioned away from traditional rave music to focus on layered, atmospheric electronica. The inclusion of the sprawling track Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love shows their talent for sustained tension.
This project reflects the shift from warehouse culture toward a more sophisticated electronic style. The production relies on driving rhythms and intricate layering to mirror the mood of the London club environment of the mid-nineties.
