Edison Suit's second album, originally released as a double CD, is a deep dive into experimentation. In its original format, one disc contained songs with vocals while the other's tracks were all instrumental. All the songs are collaborations with different vocalists, each of whom was given a track and a title to work with as they saw fit. Some of the instrumentals are highly reworked versions of the vocal cuts, while others are completely different pieces.
