It is in the same vein as the previous record ("The Isness") with a psychedelica feel but has more electronica tracks than the last one, as much as the last album had in progressive rock. Particularly in an extended version of discarded Isness track "Yes My Brother" (confusingly titled "The Prophet" here, with another track called "Yes My Brother"), it features more of a funk and blues influence than The Isness, alongside the aforementioned electronic sections

The group have even signed onto the classic Harvest label (Floyd, Deep Purple and so on) and seem keen on letting you know by whacking the label logo on the front and designing the CD as one of Harvest's old vinyl labels. Perhaps they're hoping the album will fit seemlessly next to Atom Heart Mother in everyone's record collection.

Atom Heart Mother is actually not a bad comparison point to half of the tracks here, which are neither truly progressive rock, but far less wacky than true psychedelia. They've also infused far more obvious blues and funk influences. The most successful is The Prophet (which may be familiar to those who heard one of the many incorrect versions of The Isness, as Yes My Brother), which is a Miles Davis infused jazz funk piece, complete with wah guitar, bubbling organs and liquid bass. The name Yes My Brother returns here, in the form of a bluesy acoustic track complete with crazy lalala vocals.
Elsewhere on the album, things resemble The Isness a little more. Whilst Indian Swing is the only piece reminiscent of that record's endless sitar textures, the album does feature more traditional songs: In The Summertime Of Consciousness mixes Syd Barrett-like lyrics and vocals with Indian flute and jazz sax in a short burst of choas that deserves to be heard; first single , the Led Zeppelin-like The Witchfinder features Dave Sanderson on vocals; High & Dry is the nearest thing to a traditional pop song the group have written. The highlight of the album, however, is the epic The World Is Full Of Plankton, an epic on the proportions of The Isness's The Galaxial Pharmaceutical, with an even eerier atmosphere.
