15th studio album by The Durutti Column issued on Artful Records and produced by Ben Roberts. Stylistically, it's hard to categorize, like most of his releases. It's experimental art pop with sampling, drum machines, synthesizers, and full effect on his guitar pedals, but it's not just that. It's also ambient and very world music-like. It contain great compositions but also some fillers.
