Although the title track is a fast techno piece, several other songs are far more sedate, as Väth experimented with a variety of ambient and ethnic sounds. For instance, "Merry-Go-Round Somewhere" is an entirely ambient piece of merry-go-round sounds. The track "Sleeping Invention" features sounds of the deep forest accompanied with bass drums and harpsichord. The track "Coda" is especially minimalist, using only a flute and a harpsichord.
