Background

Krug intended to compile an album of hypnotic drones using an old double-manual home organ and a Leslie speaker cabinet. Krug, however, became enamoured by the variety of bleeps, bass sounds and disco rhythms generated by the organ, and instead opted to make a record of synth-pop-oriented music. Influences on the album include Suicide, OMD and Depeche Mode. [9]
