in vier neuinterpretationen verschmilzt der tiefgründige charakter des aktuellen douglas greed albums krl mit dem groove ausgewählter produzenten. so erfährt das ohnehin bemerkenswert vielschichtige werk nochmals eine mitreißende erweiterung seines atmosphärischen klangspektrums. rundfunk3000 gestalten das experimentelle shiver mit ihren gut gelaunten beats und warmen instrumentierungen aus, wodurch der titel zum tanzen einlädt, ohne auf die verträumte stimme von sängerin delhia zu verzichten. auch der sentimentale gesang aus pain bleibt erhalten, acid pauli balanciert ihn jedoch gewitzt mit einem perkussiven cumbia-rhythmus und dessen südamerikanischem frohsinn aus. mollono.bass wiederum nutzt die emotionale kraft jener stimme für eine hypnotische, eskalierende, zum ende gar in zwitschernde acid-zitate ausufernde dancefloor-abfahrt. den abschluss bildet die akustische song-version von morning gloria aus dem studio von mooryc, ein atmosphärisches destillat des sinnlich-besinnlichen originals.
