It's not really either. It is definitely more techno/electronic, yet lacks
much of the melancholy soul that Relfections has. It's a good album, if a
little repetitive, but not as good as Relfections. It's also sort of
eclectic, lot's of different sounds (eve a dnb track with Peshay), but for
some reason tracks after tracks tends to drag on...

I would say of you're a Kirk fan then get it, otherwise it's my least
listened to Kirk record (Celestial Soul and In with their Arps being tied
for first)
