It is hints of Detroit electro elements and deep, otherworldy funk at its finest...some crazy vocal samples that are a perfect, humorous contrast to the somewhat dark nature of the tracks. I am curious to hear others' opinions, as the LP is pretty straightforward with no real bells and whistles, but it still grabs me by the balls...beautiful in a strange sort of way... J~
