Curated by his wife and partner in the band Heterotic, Lara Rix-Martin, the twelve tracks on this album run the gamut of his various styles from the placid, evocative ambient rhodes of 'Air' to the syncopated industrial techno of 'Toy Gun #2' and lots more inbetween. The album opens with the woozy yet elegant counterpoint of 1993's 'Jewel Tea' which swiftly descends into distorted HR-16 drum machine chaos. 'Vinxel' switches to a more stately mood with it's woodblock bassline and measured 4/4 pulse keeping pace with one of those patent µ-Ziq melodies you'd swear you've heard somewhere before. Both 'Trail Quest' and 'Spooky Tooth' continue in this melodic vein until the aforementioned 'Air' slows it all down with a much needed breather. The second half of the album goes into darker territory with the detuned mandolin and piano of 'Str06' duelling it out with its low-slung hip hop beat. 'Diala' sustains the reverb drenched mood while adding a sweeter edge as a synth line makes an appearance straight out of his 1993 album Tango N'Vectif'. 1995's 'Airto' brings some Marimba pierced dark cut-up jungle and the album finally starts to settle down with the Peel Session tracks 'Johnson's Q-Fab' and the classic 'Green Lanes'.
