The album mixes early 80s electronic music, of the kind released by Ze records artist Cristina, along with house music.

It was listed by noted music journalist Paul Morley in his book Words and Music, as one of his 100 albums to hear if you think Radiohead's Kid A is weird. ^{[citation needed]}

The album's first single, "Silver Screen Shower Scene" contains a sample of the Ben Liebrand remix of The Flirts single "Passion", and "Harlot" contains an unaccredited sample of the drum pattern from The Human League track, "The Sound of the Crowd". ^{[citation needed]}"Glitz Rock" contains a Kano sample.

"Silver Screen Shower Scene" and "Sequel2Sub" were also featured in the soundtrack to Midnight Club II for the Xbox, PC, and PlayStation 2. "Silver Screen Shower Scene" is also featured in SSX 3 for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube.

"Magic Fly" is a cover version of the 1977 hit by Space.
