This new album by Eric Random coincides with the start of the last Cabaret Voltaire tour, for which Eric has joined as a member. The album marks a contrast to his most recent releases, less dance-oriented, with a darker pop tone and a cinematic, soundtrack-like atmosphere.

Eric Random is a cult figure of the British electronic scene and one of the true pioneers of post-punk electronica. Growing up in Manchester, Random joined Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks and drummer Francis Cookson in 1978 to form the very short-lived The Tiller Boys, an experimental trio that debuted supporting Joy Division at Manchester's Factory Club. After the group disbanded, Random founded Free Agents and became involved with the Sheffield electronic underground, working closely with Cabaret Voltaire and recording his first solo material at their Western Works Studios.

During this period, he developed a distinctive sound language blending industrial minimalism, electro-funk, and electronic experimentation. In the early 1980's, Random formed The Bedlamites, a group that explored a fusion of electronic, post-punk, and world music elements. Around the same time, he joined The Faction, the final band of Nico (The Velvet Underground). From 1982 until her passing, he toured and performed with her, notably playing the tabla at her 1986 solo concert at The Live Inn in Shibuya, Tokyo.
