After hearing the album preview, here's how one Beatportal writer described it:

There is almost no one else in the independent music world who’s technically able to produce an album that can keep up with Booka Shade’s production standards, and yet on this forthcoming album, they’ve raised the bar yet again. ... Depeche Mode meets neo-space disco, blues guitars meet dance beats, symphonic string orchestras clash with music software sound experiments, CSI meets Wim Wenders — it’s an album as versatile as any good music collection.
