Compared to the first 2 records, this one has definite electronic beat and drums. Because of that, it seems the keyboards are sometimes slightly more in the background. Those keyboards often sound a bit like Tony Banks' ones on his solo albums, but they are less melodic and quite colder here. One track particularly has retained my attention: "Delta four": You hear a violin-like keyboard solo that is barely bearable, which gives you a pretty scary feeling, especially if you turn up the volume! After this infernal cold sound, comes a smooth, subtle & floating background keyboard that sounds so good, because of this previous hysterical pattern: just experience it!! Let's say Larry Fast here is quite less symphonic than on all the previous records: he often experiments rather curious & fatty futuristic sound textures.
