Background


On the album, Jenkinson decided to reuse analogue synthesizers that he used in the early 1990s rather than his own technology that he developed and used on albums like Ufabulum (2012) and Damogen Furies (2015). Jenkinson also made use of vintage effects units and a Commodore VIC-20.[4]
