For this record, Handley, Turner and Downie appear under various guises: Atypic, Balil, I.A.O, Close Up Over, Xeper, Discordian Popes and Plaid.
"the pinnacle of 90s ambient techno. Sleak detroit sci fi elegance married to the eerie nocturnal gloom of Sheffield. Ken/Handley/Turners interest in arabic music motifs, chaos magic and discombobulated rhythmic patterns ensure that this really stands out from everything else."
