The sporadic drumming and eerie melody which opens the record set the scene for a tale of twists and turns, the mood bright and plaintive at once. The theme continues with striking and angular cuts, setting up the title track ‘Nude’. It is Adriatique bare, showing a softer, vocoder-laden core; ‘Tachykardia’ too, with the angelic vocals of Delhia De France.
Fully immersed in Shala and Schweizer’s world of sound, you reach the ‘Point Of No Return’, together with ‘Studies In Dance Theory’ – it’s one of the albums quirky and idiosyncratic club tracks. From there, it’s a soothing descent through the breathtaking collaboration ‘Mystery’ with vocalist Jono McCleery, between the ultrasonic heartbeats of Schweizer’s son on ‘Ultraschall’ and finally into ‘Ray (Re-incarnation)’. 
Adriatique prove themselves to be as adept at creating beautiful, melodic songs as they are driving club beats; the two worlds merging on this refined and truly singular album.
