Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire leads off with the soulful vocal track "Rainy Days(1)" featuring Adl and Linn. Reminds me of one those positive feeling, 90s-era album cuts (produced by Premier or Pete Rock). Cruger keeps that nostalgic vibe going with the darker instrumental cut "Keep Striving(2)" and its CTI-type fusion feel. The b-side starts with another instrumental "We're Really Good(3)" a more uptempo, atmospheric broken beat track. It's real subtle stuff with an emphasis on bass, I'm really feeling it. The album ends with the "Rainy Days" instrumental(4) which sounds even better on its own.
