GAK 1 Is an example of early techno, mainly structured around a repetitive CR-78 pattern with a piano melody. GAK 2 is similar but has a more ambient techno sound than any other tracks on the E.P. GAK 3, however is a much darker, track with racing synths and a hard 4–4 beat, one of James' attempts to create a more rave type of sound. This album was released both in CD digital and 12" formats. The cover artwork features GAK written on the top and the Warp logo at the bottom on a purple background. The cover artwork is by The Designers Republic.[2]
