12th studio album by The Durutti Column released on Artful Records and the major classical label Decca Records, and is produced by Keir Stewart. Percussionist Bruce Mitchell appears on the release, almost as usual, only this time he has contributed as composer with Reilly on two tracks (#3, #11). The album shows a return to his trademark of ambient experimental art rock with both a classical and jazz feel, and gone is the new found indie pop style and the many years of experiments with house and electronic is put in the background. This is one of Reilly's better releases almost touching his finest hours of the 1980s.
