Supposedly these are remixes of some Mike Ink stuff which I haven't heard, so I don't know how things were transformed. Anyway, there's very little reverb, a very tight sound but you can easily get lost in it due to the slowly shifting repetitions, rhythms going out of phase, stereo patterns etc. --Harvey
