Album Notes & Community Reviews

Highlighting Richard D. James' penchant for erratic stylistic shifts, this release features a bizarre, orchestral re-arrangement of an earlier track performed by the legendary composer Philip Glass. The remaining electronic tracks focus heavily on playful, bouncing acid house rhythms and eccentric synthesizer melodies. The project is famously accompanied by an iconic, mildly unsettling music video featuring giant teddy bears performing the title track.
