Musical description

According to laut.de, the album does not differ much from its predecessor. House grooves, described as sluggish, are in the foreground, and Maxi Jazz's monotonous chant develops together with multi-layered synthesizer surfaces a “hypnotic effect”. There are also borrowings from trip-hop and soul . According to Rolling Stone , the album consists of “ languorous grooves, soft beats and sparse computer effects ” ( Ernest Hardy , German: “sleepy grooves, soft beats and barren computer effects”).

The album was compared to Massive Attack and Portishead, whose innovation he was denied, and received 2.5 / 5 points.
