The album was inspired by John Baker's work with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the '60s and early '70s, and comprises instrumentals constructed entirely from homemade samples of domestic objects: bottles, glasses, wire racks, plastic tubing, electrical appliances, the human body, and a single guitar string. Jez took a spontaneous approach, writing and recording each song in under two hours; many of the sounds clearly lent themselves to specific chord structures, rhythms and melodies. The project was self-produced and engineered, with assistance from partner Polly Hulse. Style-wise, the album draws from the worlds of library and educational television music of the 70s. There are also a few nods towards Jez's early 90s work with Vision On, notably the EP Who's Afraid of DeWolfe. The album is rounded off by three electronic demos that were written in a similar vein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Record Time \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Autumn Leaves (Me Cold) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Cherries \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Ballade Imaginaire \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Felix \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Matrioshka \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Bakerlike \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Ramulus \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Ten O'Clock in the Afternoon \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Human Soup \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Stick Mode \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Square One \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Sun and Air Follows Shortly [Electronic Demo] [Demo Version] \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Sun and Air [Electronic Demo] [Demo Version] \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Felix [Electronic Demo] [Demo Version]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
