The album is percussion-oriented, and presents a musical ethnography of a fictional country called Däfos.[4][5] When asked about the meaning of the name, Hart replied: "It isn't really anything. It's a place that Airto and I conjured in our minds."[6]

In a review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer called the album "a collection of ambient soundscapes adorned by an array of indigenous hand and mallet-struck percussion," and noted that it "garnered substantial notice from audiophiles" upon its release.[1]

Author Oliver Trager described the album as "an established audiophile classic" thanks to its "thrilling, nearly overpowering sonics."[6]
