It consists mainly of Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and the use of various types of Drum Machine.

When questioned about his influences for the sound created on "Esoteric Escape", Keser guitarist Kevan Whitley has said:cquote|I've always been a big fan of guitar bands and more recently electronic music artists. It seemed natural for 'post rock' to progress further into various different routes and mixing it with electronic music has achieved an interesting cross-over.

Album title

The story of the album title was explained as :cquote| It's about striving to achieve truth about our lives, escaping the mysticism of why we are all here, why anything is here and seeing a bigger perspective. It was a theme of many of the songs so it was an apt summation. I am surprised that there is not a lot of focus on this in general when it is easily the single most important thing.
