A warm collection of synthetic textures. If I recall correctly, there are no drums anywhere on the album. Some synth sequences are used (that establish a driving rhythm), but, its more of a "true ambient" album. If I had to call one album as demonstrating a Brian Eno influence, this would be it. But, despite that, it is its own thing. Aphex uses his own style of chord progressions (more concrete evidence of these appear in Drukqs).
