US born Chris Conway plays 11 instruments himself on the album, including his theremin which appears on 10 tracks. He weaves them with the sounds of the Talking Fish band and guests, to make masterpieces which stylistically touches on US West Coast, electronica, power-pop, Latin, Celtic folk, jazz, fusion, funk, and ambient realms.

The songs all however have Chris Conway's distinctive feel, lyricism and musical flair - despite the dazzling musicianship, he never loses sight of the songs and their lyrics which are perhaps the jewel in the crown of these albums. Evident throughout is a warmth, and a dedication to detail, and the sheer mastery of a truly creative individual.
