A sequel to a work that explores unique rhythmic interpretations and grooves.
This is their 5th album, released in 1981. It is their second album since they moved to the Virgin label. Since their previous album, Gentlemen Take Polaroids, they had been incorporating African Beat and oriental music, but this album leans more heavily towards the influence of oriental music.
The fusion of electronic and traditional instrumentation continues in this work. It is also the most technically complex program of electronic instruments at the time. Four of the eight tracks on this album ("The Art of Parties", "Visions of China", "Ghosts" and "Cantonese Boy") were released as singles in the UK.
