[edit] Style

Mozaiq is more techno-trance influenced then all their previous materials, Dockyard1 stating that it "is really about breaking down the boundaries of what we refer to as Heavy Music"[4]. It contains more clear vocals, especially on "Neo-Gothic Romance", and also metalcore influenced vocals ("Exotic 6 Coordinator"). Track "Metropolice" is build upon female vocal samples. Instrumentation is lower-paced then on their previous works, especially their debut album, and synths sometimes cross into industrial/eurodance territory [5].
