This is the second original full length album by A Split Second, created during 1988. It is probably the most homogenic album of A Split Second. Shortly after the release of the first album, they started to work on ...From The Inside, resulting in a 12" 'Smell of Buddha' featuring 'Colonial Discharge'. Later, the 12" 'Scandinavian Bellydance' holds 4 versions of this composition, all included as bonus tracks on the CD version.
This album produces some dance club hits and live top acts such as 'Colosseum Crash' and 'Mambo Witch', but also 'Bend My Body Armour' which becomes the highlight of the live shows.
On the other hand, A Split Second demostrates thety can't be catched in a narrow
definition of musical style. Although very recognisable, they wander off in
very stylish productions like 'The Last Wave' or 'Arsenic', or even funky like
'Choke'
