Track by track:
 
Clox
This is simple electro from a time when calculators and moon landings were news! Catchy retro electro beats with delicious vocal pads and acoustic guitar side snacks.
 
6 Minute Festival
"I remember seeing Mother of Gong at Glastonbury when I was seventeen. I had a six-minute experience that lasted 3 days."

Matt's (Pan Electric) explanation for this trippy festy stomp that swings in and out of reality like a hypnotists fob watch.
 
Being There 1-3
"Ever watched Specks of dust floating in the air, suspended in sunlight and just got lost in it ? This is track is about how detail and time are related."

This starts as curious electronica weaving itself into a musical question mark.  It then journeys into the lush thematic chill-dom that we heard from Pan Electric last album. Part three of this epic twists down into the kind of grunge groove bass lines reminiscent of the Green Nuns days.
 
Metronomique
Jaunty Kraftwerk-esque electro tune with another memorable theme. Spacious and methodical in its construction to reflect the digital structures that influence our age.
 
Neverland
Wailing metal guitar adds eerie lycanthropic full-moon willies into an already furiously stampeding drum and bass section. Whirling dervishes of oscillating digital dust devils help you kick the dirt off the dance space as the whole symphony breaks down, winds up, and sends your mind spinning.
 
Everchange
......, "a place without time."

Minimal pulsing breath synths set the foundation from which high octave guitars rise melodically as if they want to escape any  regularity. Sweetly aspirational and positive.
 
Forever
Lush, Epic and very much a signature of both Ishq and Pan Electric. Gentle, musical and melodic with tribal drum beats in the latter half. The mood is both yearning and celebratory with Dulcimer style synth melodies over the intriguing sonic sculptures of Mr. Ishq
