The album saw the group experimenting with world music, collaborating with South African Zulu group Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, who provide a heavy layer of mostly non-English-language vocals on three tracks ("Yebo!", "Chain Gang" and "Spit"). The album was produced by Anne Dudley, Ted Hayton and J.J. Jeczalik.
The album represents the diverging interests of the two remaining members of the original group, Anne Dudley and J.J. Jeczalik. Dudley's influence is evident in the album's ambient interludes of melodic, orchestral pieces, while Jeczalik's influence can be heard in the album's dub tracks and harder, rock-edged pieces. The latter songs also feature arrangements more typical of the band's earlier material, utilising sampling techniques, lengthy fade-outs, a diverse mixture of classical instruments, guitar riffs and percussion typical of industrial music.
Although the album was praised for its collaboration with Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, the reviews for the album were mostly negative, with Allmusic music reviewer Dean Carlson calling the album a "misfire" and compared it to "world mall-music".[3]
LP releases exclude tracks 12 and 13; initial US CD and cassette releases categorize these songs as bonus tracks.
