It is mostly an emotionly devoid landscape of noise,drones abstract percussive rythms and skewed samples. The concept was not to soundtrack urban living or sounds of living in the city, it was supposed to soundtrack the living city itself, the buildings themselves. Thats why I was looking for such a sterile atmosphere because it's meant to be devoid of people devoid of life. Buildings, places have there own set of sounds that are distinct to them. it was this idea of buildings and spaces having they're own music that inspired this record. The art work for the sleeve is a mixture of photos taken around Londons underground system, mainly the Jubilee Line and also pictures taken at Canary Wharf. I chose those locations due to there extremely modern look. Most of the old tube stations and lines have a bit more character but the Jubilee Line for me is very characterless and sterile. I wanted to capture that idea in the artwork. It is similar for the Canary Wharf buildings, their very new and express a certain sterility that I wanted to capture in the music.
