explains the composer John Metcalfe (Durruti Column): The songs are much more than covers ... are striking reinterpretations of the best music ... It's a pretty radical commitment. What I do is just recreate the music of the songs that Peter has chosen to sing. This is important because some of the titles included are among the best in the last 40 years.

The cutting disc is acoustic and only used the instruments of an orchestra (no guitars, drums or similar) ... the sound ranges from quiet and sparse beats up an orchestra in its full expression. ..
