DJ Kurtis Mantronik and rapper MC Tee used a polyrhythmic style similar to West African log drumming, but instead of acoustic drums, the rhythm would be carried by the combination of electronic drums, synthesizer, vocoder and/or synthesized voice over a bass line completely played on the synth.

From contemporary reviews, J. D. Considine gave the album a three star rating, noting its sound was 'pretty run-of-themill for hip-hop' with its 'vintage elctronic percussion' and M.C. Tee's 'standard-issue raps.'[8] Considine specifically noted that Mantronix 'definitely has a way with the music. They assemble their jams with funky finesse, revving up the marhciner behind 'Bassline' until the rap evaporates into pure rhythm' and that 'Mega-Mix' was 'about as CONCRETE as this music gets.'[8] 'The Album's track 'Bassline' was praised by Ken Tucker who called it the most well-known cut as 'a slinky dance-music compsotion that employs rap-music cadences to achieve a choppy frenetic effect' while stating the rest of the album 'Isn't as innovative' with the exception of 'Mega-Mix' which was 'almost abstract collage of sound effects, comes close.'[9]
The NME placed the album at number 10 on its year-end list of best albums of 1986.[10]
