Tracks tend to evolve from a core sample, moving off in their own direction, avoiding obvious generic 4/4 cut and paste in favour of a more expansive, finely honed, organic feel. At times reminiscent of Bitches Brew- era Miles Davis, haunted, Ethiopian jazz, authentic heavyweight dub, or Lalo Schifrin-esque soundtracks, the fusion nevertheless somehow results in something overwhelmingly personal and unaffected. From the eastern smog of 'Camel Spit' to the echo laden 'Septic Skank,' through to 'Giddy Up' Afro-disco workout or 'Swamp Donkey's' Gamelan dub, influences weave in and out, riding live drums and tight percussion, thunderous basslines snaking their way through.
