Steven Stapleton proves himself capable of creating music that sounds as if it were multiple samples put on a magnetic tape and sent alone into a 3-dimensional world generated by an early 32-bit computer, to have it come out as a perfectly-timed and assembled piece of music that has adopted the computer's electronic world of depth.
The words spoken flow along with the richly textured, less abrasive industrial fare, and they take the concept of abstract art in multiple directions—which is to say, it does not leave you in one spot the whole time. This album is an ambient work that is very atmospheric, captivating, and enjoyable; almost every track stands out like the contrast one would get from seeing a thick layer of chocolate-colored pastel on a sheet of beige construction paper set in front of a window, in-between a palm tree and an oak tree in a hand-drawn office—it's not a mess, and it's not all the same.
