The album features instrumental electronic music in a retro or vintage style, yet combines this with modern elements. It makes no claim to offer groundbreaking new ideas; rather, the focus is on the vintage sound and the electronic music of the 70s and 80s. Incorporating familiar styles is, to a greater or lesser extent, intentional.

More about the production: Most of the tracks are long (approx. 10 minutes). For the live recordings, the Roskiewicz Orchestra uses samples and loops spanning 4 or 8 bars. These audio files are controlled manually via the looper function of a Zoom ARQ 96, forming the foundation that includes all harmonic and percussive elements. These elements are generally created using freeware software instruments. All other instruments and effects are performed live.
A range of instruments is available for the live recordings, though not all are used; usage depends on the style. For this production, the Roskiewicz Orchestra employed the Kawai K5000S, Emu Vintage Keys Plus, Alesis Micron, Korg 03/RW, and Yamaha TG500. To achieve a more distinctive sound, the TG500 operates in multi-mode, for instance, allowing different sounds to be played by quickly switching MIDI channels via an Emu Xboard. The sounds can be routed through individual outputs to an effects unit—in this case, a Zoom G3, which receives various signals via a small 4-channel mixer. The Alesis Micron runs through a Rocktron Intellifex. Effects can also be applied to the core elements of the Zoom ARQ 96, with filters and delay controlled via the “Ring” using Bluetooth. Finally, an Alesis airFX is used for a special master effect.
