Dewdrops in the Garden

The record moved away from the political lyrics of Infinity Within toward dance and intimacy, with a heavier lean into psychedelia. Kier said the new album was about personal politics rather than global ones. It drew on her trips to the Hopi ruins in the Painted Desert and the Yucatan pyramids, and Dmitry's to the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree. Describing Music Selector Is the Soul Reflector, she said the DJ is the guru, the booth the altar and the dance floor sacred ground.

Most of the work was done by Dmitry and Kier with Ani Schempf, known as DJ Ani. Towa Tei had left to work on the Japanese singer Nokko's album and his own debut, Future Listening!, but he contributed production to Call Me, Party Happening People, DMT (Dance Music Trance) and the Funky Chunky Bonus Beats part of What Is This Music? Pitchfork's Rich Juzwiak heard rave culture and techno and breakbeat hardcore in a tougher, sometimes acidic sound. Kier told Mixmag that many songs were written on the dance floor, and Dmitry played drafts while DJing and changed them according to the crowd. Samples range from Earth, Wind and Fire to the Monkees, and Apple Juice Kissing borrows the groove of the Clash's Armagideon Time.

After What Is This Music? come several minutes of silence and then three hidden tracks. Dewdrops in the Remix, a companion record, was issued in Japan, and Bring Me Your Love and Call Me became their last two number ones on the dance club chart. Billboard called the album a solid collection that forgoes the political rhetoric in favor of lighter, sing-along fare.
