This sprawling, multi-part progressive rock opus from the British collective features the return of original vocalist Roya Arab. The album merges orchestral arrangements with trip-hop beats and Pink Floyd-esque conceptual ambition, exploring themes of societal manipulation and dystopian surveillance. Its expansive scope solidified the group's massive cult following, particularly across continental Europe.
