Sans Parade has now reduced the amount of musicians, but not the grandiosity of the sound. This new album is completely performed by the core trio: the singing of Markus Perttula is accompanied only by instruments played by Perttula, Pekka Tuppurainen and Jani Lehto. Rhythm-wise the drummer and bass player have been replaced by energetic and emotional banging of a cheapo beginner's drum kit, and occasional sequenced pulsating bass. Machines, most of them analogue, are now essential part of the sound and acoustic instruments are allowed to shine, with all their imperfections.
