Together with their band members, they come up with a filmic approach in which electronics and instruments like doublebass and drums go together. Though at moments the music reminds of a jam session, the general impression is that of film music from the 1960's. You start dreaming and having a feeling of being homesick for a period in the past that is almost present. Some improvisation takes place, though the synthesizer remains the solid aspect. The music is loose, relaxed, very suitable for a lounge afternoon with an occasional sample (for instance of Alien). The atmosphere changes without noticing. A little bit romantic, jazzy at times and time-less, though somewhere from the past. Some modern dance beats go along with bells to change into the music belonging to black and white movies or bip hop. The changes of style always remain within the framework, which gives the music a solid underground and the concert a calm atmosphere. All it all a relaxed experience of a time warp.
