It's nothing like the more dancefloor-oriented Black Flag track Sweat, it's more in line with Silent Phase, but having said that it will surprise a lot of people as Stacey has really grown artistically. He's 30, he's entered a new phase of creativity. He is trying very, very new things. This is very experimental. It's not an obvious "Detroit techno" album (not that there ever really was that). It's still Stacey, it's got his touch, and you can hear his jazz influences in the programming, but it's more Stacey now and tomorrow than Stacey yesterday. For example, there's an opera song on there - my favourite, it's really spacey, futuristic. Me, I really love the whole thing. I had to give back my promo, so I am really looking forward to the real thing. Peace Cyclone
