In the focus of this sinister work stands the modern man; on the one hand within today’s society, but on the other hand as an individual discovering the challenges within his lifetime. The fable 'Lethal Anaconda' thematizes the scheduled population exchange under a dictatorship that is covered up as democracy or there is 'Raven Berta' telling the biography of a former German rubble woman, who became impoverished and a laughing stock in the streets of Berlin. The Song 'Individual Case' is worth to be emphasised as the maximum of harsh social criticism, in which the judicial authorities fail completely and the parents of a raped and murdered child take the law into their own hands. The single 'Rooms to Let' tells a tale of loneliness in a modern metropolis and pieces like 'The Tree of Knowledge', 'Bloody Tears', 'Weeping Wounds' and 'The Descent' unfold the individual that quarrels with the stages of his life.

The filigree, not uncommonly classical guitar techniques and fingerstyle parts, the voluminous mandolin-like ornaments or sound carpets and Ennio Moriccone-like twang sounds are recognisably Ricardo Hoffmann’s, who knows always to create pictorial synaesthesias raising nightly panoramas from imaginatively enraptured roadmovies or the imagery of wild and near-natural sceneries. Subtly woven into a fragile sound stage, mainly consisting of piano, a singing saw that is acting as a soprano voice, organ, concertina, classical string arrangements as well as its deeply resonating bass and those jazzy drums, the listener is inevitably getting entangled in a sound experience that is drawing marvellously attention to singer, lyricist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Ricardo Hoffmann’s emotional baritone.
