Tweaked monosynth lines and rich polyphonic pads are featured on most tracks, and single note patterns of various timbre often reinforce the grooves. The title track on the A-side is as simple as effective and the name relates to some of the percussion parts which reminded them of a rodent digging a hole in the ground. First on the B-side is >If I Was A Man<, a slow-down groover with a dark and funky atmosphere, inspired by Barbara Alcindor s abstract spoken words, becomes more and more twisted towards the end of the track. Last but not least, >Zig Zag<, which is named after the wobbly monosynth phrase which is being tweaked throughout the tune. All tracks speak of sweet, riding rhythms and nights full of action.
