This is not a disc of conventional songs, though the fragments from which its formed originally came from discrete examples of the standard form. Written and recorded over an 18 month period the longest ever for a PH solo work - the album has gone through many transformations before arriving in this final form. It's not a concept album as such but its use of jagged soundscapes and elusive plotlines place it closer to a cinematic world than a narrative song one. The sound palate consists of guitars, synths, crushed beats and, of course, insistent vocals. This is unlike anything Peter has attempted before. The music is continuous, cross-fading from one piece to another, but the CD is indexed.
