[edit] Overview
The album contains several pieces that hold various forms of sound ranging from orchestrial, industrial, and techno as well as containing Juno Reactor's trademark tribal sound (possibly as best featured in Conquistador II). The album also features two songs from Watkins' collaboration with The Matrix composer Don Davis on the films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, Mona Lisa Overdrive (from Reloaded) and Navras (from Revolutions). The version of Mona Lisa Overdrive is different from that featured on the film's soundtrack. It is shortened from its original time of 10:08 to 4:45 and there are easily noticeable differences in the sound of the bass and tone of the songs. Navras is a loose remix of Davis' song Neodämmerung, yet length remains the same on both CDs. One known single of Zwara was released in Japan on November 26, 2003 as a promo.
